English summary: In 1911, the Rostock born classical philologist John Geffcken (1861-1935) founded the "Bibliothek der klassischen Altertumswissenschaften" (library of classical studies). The series, which remains active to this day, is the most long standing German book series in classical philology and archeology and is still being published by Universitatsverlag Winter, just as it was one hundred years ago. On this occasion and as part of their annual "Jahresgaben"-offer, the publisher is making available a reprint of the first volume of the "Bibliothek", Edmund Hoppe's 1911 treatise "Mathematik und Astronomie im klassischen Altertum" (mathematics and astronomy in classical antiquity), published in two volumes; this volume is the first of the two. German description: 1911 begrundete der Rostocker Klassische Philologe Johannes Geffcken (1861-1935) die "Bibliothek der klassischen Altertumswissenschaften". Sie ist die die alteste deutsche, noch bestehende Buchreihe der klassisch-philologischen Altertumswissenschaft und erscheint heute wie vor einhundert Jahren im Universitatsverlag Winter. Aus diesem Anlass wird der erste Band der "Bibliothek", Edmund Hoppes 1911 erschienene Abhandlung "Mathematik und Astronomie im klassischen Altertum", im Rahmen der Jahresgaben des Verlags, aufgeteilt in zwei Teilbande, noch einmal vorgelegt. Der Experimentalphysiker und Wissenschaftshistoriker Edmund Hoppe (1854-1928) unterrichtete vierzig Jahre lang als Gymnasialprofessor in Hamburg und lehrte nach seiner Emeritierung Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften an der Universitat Gottingen.
