Abstract: This is the first comprehensive English language work to assemble information covering all Greek and Latin natural science, from its beginnings with Thales through the end of the Late Antiquity with Isidore of Seville and Paulos of Aigina.nbsp;nbsp;A team of over 100 of the world's experts in the field have compiled almost 1600 entries - 244 of those describingnbsp;figures that are not mentioned in any other reference work - resulting in a unique and hugely ambitious resource which will prove indispensable for anyone seeking the details of the history of ancient science.
