Wolfgang Haase

Wolfgang Haase studied ‘Classical Philology’ (Greek and Latin languages and literatures), Ancient History, and Philosophy at the University of Frankfurt and the University of Tübingen. His doctoral dissertation, submitted at the University of Tübingen, was dedicated to the Neopythagorean philosopher Nicomachus of Gerasa and the transmission and reception of his work on arithmetic. His research interests have been and are in the fields of ancient philosophy and science, Greek and Roman ruler cult, ancient and Renaissance historiography and generally the Classical Tradition (transmission and reception of the classical heritage). In addition to his teaching at the University of Tübingen (esp. its Leibniz Honors College) and at Boston University, also serving as director of Boston University’s Institute for the Classical Tradition (from 1991-2013), much of his scholarly work has been dedicated to his role as ‘involved’ Editor of the 89-volume hand book style series Austieg und Niedergang der Römischen Welt (ANRW)/Rise and Decline of the Roman World (1968-1999) and of vols. 1-18 (1994-2011) of the cross-disciplinary International Journal of the Classical Tradition(IJCT).
