“this is a truly excellent monograph, which should bring an obscure text to the greater readership it deserves. Havrda’s important work shows how vital it is for those interested in ancient medicine to examine Christian texts as well, which often contain testimony of philosophical and scientific theory otherwise lost.” - Dawn LaValle Norman, Magdalen College, University of Oxford, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017.09.38
"Havrda's study is a work of consummate erudition, published at an apposite moment for patristics, ancient philosophy, and potentially early imperial literary scholarship---though his own weight of attention and interest is clearly pointed toward the philosophical tradition." - Jane Heath, University of Durham, in: The Expository Times 129(10)
"Matyáš Havrda [...] hat ein gehaltvolles Buch vorgelegt, das nicht nur für Studien zu Clemens von Alexandrien wichtig sein wird, sondern darüber hinaus für die Erforschung der Philosophie- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte des 2. und 3. Jh.s insgesamt von Belang ist. [...] Der V[erfasser] hat damit ein sehr wertvolles Arbeitsintrument bereitgestellt, das allen, die mit dieser Materie zu tun haben, hoch willkommen sein wird." - Dietmar Wyrwa, Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 145 (2020) 1/2
