AESTIMATIO

SOURCES AND STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE

ISSN 1549–4497 (online)
ISSN 1549–4470 (print, old series only)

Aestimatio (new series) focuses on the history of science from antiquity to the early modern period. This chronological span is complemented by a geo-cultural one that takes into account cultures in Eurasia and Africa, recognizing that the spread of the traditions of knowledge and of ideas is a unifying characteristic of the chronological and geo-cultural scope of science in the Old World before the modern era.

In Aestimatio, we take science broadly to include the goals, methods, knowledge, objects, and practices in what is presented as science in the historical sources. Accordingly, this new series of Aestimatio aims to make fundamental texts and ideas in the history of science accessible to readers today through the publication of original research. It will also include assessments of books recently published that allow reviewers to engage critically with the methods and results of current research. On occasion, there will be guest-edited thematic issues and supplementary volumes.
