Subject of the proposed research project is the complete critical edition of the two-part treatise on the psychical pneuma written by the Byzantine physician and scholar John Zacharias (ca. 1275-1328) with a German translation and its contextualization in medical and intellectual history as well as the history of its reception. This work is of central importance especially for the history of psychology, since it constitutes the perhaps earliest 'burnout therapy' against the background of an increasingly patient-oriented medicine in Byzantium. The editorial analysis implies such a contextualization, as the different redactions offered by the manuscripts illustrate the transcultural history of the reception of Byzantine medicine in the area of tension between ancient and early modern medicine.
