Summary:

"This volume--the proceedings of a 2018 conference at LMU Munich funded by Fritz Thyssen Stiftung--brings together, for the first time, experts on Greek, Syriac, and Arabic traditions of doxography. Fourteen contributions provide new insight into the state of the art in contemporary research on the widespread phenomenon of doxography. Together they demonstrate that Greek, Syriac, and Arabic forms of doxography share common features and raise related questions in such a way that current research would benefit from interdisciplinary exchange among colleagues from various disciplines, such as classics, Arabic studies, and the history of philosophy."-- Provided by publisher.
