Synopsis:
This fascinating collection considers the dialogue between technical literature and imperial society in the Roman Empire.
Review: Review of the hardback: 'König and Whitmarsh's collection of eleven essays, whose origins can be traced to a 2001 conference held at St John's College, Cambridge, is a welcome edition for what might be called the emerging field of the history of information science ... this volume comes highly recommended on account of the wide range of authors it considers, the variety of analytical methods it employs and its nuanced understanding of the relationship between compilations of knowledge and their contexts.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review
