The Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Scientists: The Greek tradition and its many heirs

Doxography (38) (authors and writings surveying the teachings of earlier thinkers),
although they make no original contribution, serve (like the EANS itself) to gather and
organize contributions, and to show the range of answers and questions; typically written
by Greeks in contrast to the Encyclopedia, typically written by Latins (most entries by
Mejer):

Anaxilaïde ̄s
Antisthene ̄s of Rhodes
Areios Didumos

Encyclopedia (13) (work of systematic knowledge collection, distinguished from Doxog-
raphy by being focused not on the thinkers or the questions, but on the answers, as per-
ceived at the time of composition), typically written by Latins, instead of Doxography,
typically written by Greeks (the two Greek encyclopedias here are marked with *):

Albinus
Ampelius
Anicius Manlius Boethius
Martianus Capella
Censorinus (II)
Cornelius Celsus

• Geo ̄ponika

Isidorus of Hispalis (Seville)

* Sex. Iulius Africanus

Cassiodorus Senator

M. Terentius Varro of Reate

Macrobius Ambrosius Theodosius

Geography (246) (works and authors on the description of the Earth, or large portions
thereof, as well as mathematical geography, latitudes and longitudes); some works of
geography skirt close to Paradoxography, and writers of Astronomy and Astrology
often treat geography. Many entries by Dognini, Dueck, Kaplan, Kuelzer, and Lozovsky:

Acilius
Aethicus Ister
Aethicus, pseudo

Aëthlios

Agatharkhide ̄s of Knidos

Agathe ̄meros
