Ancient Greek History
Almagest
10 followers
The new journal Almagest considers the history of science both as a history of ideas and as an activity that takes place in institutional and social context. In discussing the history of scientific ideas, the journal addresses the philosophical assumptions underpinning the ideas as well as the scientific developments themselves; it also addresses the influence of the historical context on these ideas.
One of the defining features of the journal's approach to the history of science is the belief that the history of scientific ideas, of research priorities, of conceptualizations of nature, and of the various external factors that are associated with scientific discoveries are deeply related to History, generally construed, and to cultural and socio-economic parameters. Following this approach, the journal invites papers on the history of scientific ideas in specific regions or related to a specific cultural context (for example, papers on science and religion). It also invites papers on the relations of scientific ideas to the material civilization, in particular to scientific instruments.
It is a firm belief of the editorial board that history of science can contribute substantially to the scientific education of both students and the general public, especially at a time when debates over "intelligent design" are raising major questions not only over what counts as science but also on what ought to be available to students in their school curricula. The journal, therefore, invites also papers on the utilization of history of science in science education.
Last but not least, Amagest is edited by the network of history of science of Southeastern Europe, and therefore it aims to constitute a forum for the historians of science in Southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Oriental Studies – Journal of Oriental and Ancient History
109 followers
Hathor – Studies of Egyptology and Oriental Studies – Journal of Oriental and Ancient History publications, which are now presented to the public, aims to correspond to two different but complementary aspects in the research of Ancient History.
Hathor – Studies of Egyptology focuses exclusively in the studies of ancient Egypt and the influence exerted by this civilization on other contemporary or later peoples and cultures.
Hence, it doesn’t have any fixed chronological barriers. What truly determines the activity sphere is the relevance of the theme.
Oriental Studies - Journal of Oriental and Ancient History widens its field to all ancient world, from Pre-Classical civilizations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, Hebrews, Hittites, etc, to Classical civilizations such as Greece and Rome.
Here too, naturally, it is intended that the vision about the history of these realities isn’t confined to a particular time frame, being privileged the continuities and the structural archetypes.
With these two publications is intended, firstly to meet the aspirations of a national audience, broader and demanding by the day and, secondly to consolidate its role in the international scientific community.
