## Description

* * *

To mark the 2027 anniversary of Philipps-Universität Marburg, the international working group "Marburg Conversations on Ancient Medicine" (MGAH) invites you to explore the complex interplay between practice, tradition, and institutional authorization in ancient medicine. The event focuses on how medical knowledge originated, was transmitted, and gained legitimacy—both within early schools and academies and beyond these institutions. The aim of this two-day event is to highlight the diversity of ancient medicine across Europe, Africa, and Asia, and to stimulate historical reflection on knowledge, legitimation, and institutionalization.

The MGAH serves as an open forum for diverse methodological approaches, including philological, archaeological, historical, and social-historical analyses, as well as theoretical studies and combinations thereof. This diversity is also reflected in the group of participants: as an international working group, the MGAH looks forward to discussions with scholars from a wide range of disciplines and cultural backgrounds—at various stages of their academic careers—as well as with interested members of the public.

A public evening lecture delivered by an internationally renowned figure is open to all without prior registration. For the 2027 anniversary year, the MGAH is honored to welcome Philip van der Eijk, Professor of Classics and History of Science at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, as the speaker. If you wish to attend the full event, please register in advance. You can find the registration form and further information on the linked webpage.
