Thales von Milet in der frühen christlichen Literatur

thales of Miletus (7th-6th centuries BC) is regarded as one of the most important figures in Greek philosophy and science. In spite of this we know few anecdotes about his life, and none of his work has survived directly. This was one of the main reasons behind Andreas Schwab's work, who for the first time commented on more than one hundred passages in early Christian authors on Thales' life and works.
