<p>“The individual chapters are each interesting studies that presents the selected material and make use of scientific features of the sources … that do not fall into the trap of an anachronistic Eurocentric perspective. … Taken together, these publications attest to the lively and active community of historians of science working on ancient sources and the potential to learn about the origin and early development of sciences and their place within societies … .” (Annette Imhausen, NTM, Vol. 30 (3), September, 2022)</p><p>“Pieces and Parts in Scientific Texts provides a valuable perspective on an understudied aspect of scientific writing—and does so across times and cultures. It encourages historians of science to think more broadly about writing and composition practices and opens new approaches to the study of scientific texts.” (Lisa Raphals, Isis, Vol. 111 (1), 2020)</p>
