The range of forms chosen for the dissemination of scientific ideas is one of the most puzzling and understudied aspects of ancient intellectual life. Who made them, and why? Liba Taub and her Berlin Research Group have been exploring the shapes of ancient scientific texts and tools and will present astonishing findings.
In the course of the evening, all project team members will share their work at a number of ‘stations’:
- Liba Taub and Aude Doody (Genres of Greek and Roman Science)
- Gerd Grasshoff and Florian Kotschka (Astro-Meteorological Calenders)
- Elisabeth Rinner (Astronomical Globes)
- Bernhard Fritsch and Maria Keil (Sundials)
