The Transfer of Medical Episteme in the ‘Encyclopaedic’ Compilations of Late Antiquity (A03)

该项目考察了晚期古代医学百科全书的文本结构，以及它们所使用的不同形式的话语和概括策略。通过分析帕加蒙的奥里巴修斯、阿米达的埃蒂乌斯和埃吉纳的保罗的文本实践，并将它们与早期的医学收藏品，如Celsus和Caelius Aurelanus的收藏品进行比较，该项目调查了这些百科全书越来越注重实用的实用性，以及它们在东地中海地区融入知识和权力的经济学。

The project examines the textual structures of late antique medical encyclopaedias and the different forms of discourse and strategies of epitomisation they employ. By analysing the textual practices of Oribasius of Pergamon, Aetius of Amida and Paul of Aegina and comparing them with earlier medical collections, such as those of Celsus and Caelius Aurelianus, the project investigates the increasing focus of these encyclopaedias on practical usefulness as well as their integration into the oikonomies of knowledge and power within the Eastern Mediterranean.
