  Writing, rewriting or quotation: the processes of composition of ancient medical texts

  Les vastes sommes médicales antiques qui rassemblent et transmettent les savoirs de leur temps comportent de nombreux textes « parallèles », qui posent des questions intéressant tous les chercheurs de l'Antiquité : diversité des sources, place de la transmission orale, modes de réappropriation des textes, rôle et statut de l'auteur d'une encyclopédie. À l’heure où se multiplient encyclopédies en ligne et réflexions sur la propriété intellectuelle, le statut de l’auteur ou encore le plagiat, la réflexion sur les procédés de composition des ancêtres les plus lointains de Wikipédia permettra de s’interroger sur l’élaboration du savoir médical et les différents canaux de sa transmission.
