Abstract
This work explores the reception of the physical teachings of the Presocratic philosophers, as transmitted by the doxographical tradition, during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. In particular it examines the ways in which Presocratic physical doctrines permeated the literary culture of Late Antiquity in polemic, exegesis and computistical writing. This work seeks to highlight the legacy of the Presocratic philosophers during these eras, and place their legacy within the context of the history of philosophy.
