Der zweite Band der "Theophrastus Paracelsus Studien" versammelt die Beiträge internationaler Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen. Beleuchtet werden die kulturhistorischen und mentalitätsgeschichtlichen Gegebenheiten, die für die Arbeit von Paracelsus von Bedeutung waren, sein umfangreiches Wirken in Religion, Medizin und Alchemie sowie sein Einfluss auf zeitgenössische Entwicklungen in Medizin, Naturheilkunde und Bioethik. Zudem behandeln die Autoren sozialpolitische und ideengeschichtliche Aspekte, die die zentrale Bedeutung von Paracelsus stärker als bisher in den Mittelpunkt der Aufmerksamkeit rücken. Zur Sprache kommen also Fragen nach den natur- und geisteswissenschaftlichen Vorstellungen dieses frühneuzeitlichen Gelehrten, der sich aus postmoderner Sicht als uns heute viel näher stehend erweist, als man dies bisher hat wahrnehmen wollen. This second volume of the "Theophrastus Paracelsus Studies" presents a collection of papers by international scholars from a variety of disciplines. They illuminate the factors from the history of culture and mentality which were of significance for Paracelsus' work, and his comprehensive activity in religion, medicine and alchemy, together with his influence on contemporary developments in medicine, natural healing and bioethics. In addition, the authors deal with aspects of sociopolitics and the history of ideas which move the central significance of Paracelsus more into the focus of attention.

The short aporetic essay On First Principles by Theophrastus, thought to have been transmitted as his Metaphysics , is critically edited for the first time on the basis of all the available evidence—the Greek manuscripts and the medieval Arabic and Latin translations—together with an introduction, English translation, extensive commentary, and a diplomatic edition of the medieval Latin translation. This book equally contributes to Graeco-Arabic studies as ancilla of classical studies, and includes the first critical edition of the Arabic translation with an English translation and commentary, a detailed excursus on the editorial technique for Greek texts which medieval Arabic translations are extant as well as for the Arabic translations themselves, and a complete Greek and Arabic glossary as a blueprint for future lexica.

Dr. Seuss' infectious rhymes, his blue-tufted, strong-willed creatures, and his knack for pithy, roundabout plots have been entertaining children and adults for decades. And as Donald Pease shows in this marvelous biography, the seemingly haphazard trajectory of Theodor Geisel's life bears a close resemblance to the zigzag plot lines of his children's books. Here is an engaging look at a man who indeed lived a zigzag life, by turns a cartoonist, ad agency artist (for Flit bug killer), author, caricaturist, documentary-film writer and producer, political cartoonist, and editor. Pease follows Ge

This landmark contribution to ongoing debates about perceptions of the Jews in antiquity examines the attitudes of Greek writers of the Hellenistic period toward the Jewish people. Among the leading Greek intellectuals who devoted special attention to the Jews were Theophrastus (the successor of Aristotle), Hecataeus of Abdera (the father of "scientific" ethnography), and Apollonius Molon (probably the greatest rhetorician of the Hellenistic world). Bezalel Bar-Kochva examines the references of these writers and others to the Jews in light of their literary output and personal background; their religious, social, and political views; their literary and stylistic methods; ethnographic stereotypes current at the time; and more.
