- Additional information
- The project was planned jointly between co-editors, as part of a Leverhulme Project (‘Science and Empire in the Roman World’) for which they acted as co-investigators: they each made a 50% contribution to that process (including planning and administration of three workshops where some of the chapters in the volume were presented in draft form). The attributed individual then had primary responsibility (75%) for commissioning chapters, and full responsibility (100%) for editing the chapters, which involved two separate rounds of detailed comments and revisions, in some cases leading to quite radical revisions between the first draft and the final version. The attributed individual also compiled the index. The attributed individual is the sole author (100%) for the opening chapter ‘Introduction: self-assertion and its alternatives in ancient scientific and technical writing’ (pp. 1-26), which combines the traditional functions of an introduction with a series of original contributions on Plutarch and Philostratus.
