Georgia L. Irby-Massie, Paul T. Keyser
"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. Schiefsky, Harvard University, "New England Classical
Journal, 2004
"Irby-Massie and Keyser have produced a very useful and welcome
resource for teaching and studing Hellenistic science....The volume
is greatly enhanced by indices, a timeline, and maps....There are
many enjoyable and engaging passages included in the volume, which
strengthens its appeal as a teaching resource."
-Classical World
