Greek Science of the Hellenistic Era: A Sourcebook (Routledge Sourcebooks for the Ancient World)
In terms of both the selection and arrangement of material, the book presents an excellent overview of later Greek science in its various aspects.  The editors are especially to be praised for devoting individual chapters to astrology and alchemy.  A great strength of the volume is the inclusion of a large amount of material from fragmentary or relatively obscure sources, much of which is newly translated into English.–Mark J.
