Laura Gemelli is professor of classical philology at the Seminar für Griechische Philologie und Lateinische University of Zurich. After studying classical philology, ancient philosophy, and indogermanic literature, she has long collaborated with Walter Burkert. Specialist of pre-Platonic philosophy, Hippocratic medicine, and doxography, she has published several studies on the Atomism, the Eleatic philosophy, and the religious phenomenon in the ancient world, offering also a new interpretation of Parmenides’ thought. Among his publications there are the three-volumes edition of the Vorsokratiker, with text, translation and commentary (Düsseldorf 2007-2010; new ed. Berlin 2013); the essay Democrito e l’Accademia. Studi sulla trasmissione dell’atomismo antico da Aristotele a Simplicio, Berlin – New York 2007, and the recent Parmenide: suoni, immagini, esperienza, ed. by L. Rossetti and M.
