This volume contains an English translation and introduction to Hippolytus of Rome's Commentary on Daniel and his Chronicon. Both works are the first writings of their kind. The commentary is the earliest extant Christian commentary on a book of the Bible and the Chronicon is the first extant Christian historical work.

In his Commentary on Daniel, the earliest extant Christian commentary, Hippolytus interprets the deeds and visions of Daniel against the backdrop of contemporary Roman persecution and eschatological expectation, thus providing much information about Christian affairs in the early third century. Throughout the commentary Hippolytus further discusses his distinctive Logos theology and also makes mention of various liturgical practices evolving baptism, anointing, the celebration of Easter and perhaps the date of Christmas.

Ziel dieses Buches ist es, den Leser anhand von zahlreichen Tabellen uber die Abhangigkeiten der Strahlenexposition und die Grosse der Strahlenexposition bei der Digitalen Subtraktionsangiographie zu informieren. Die Darstellung hat den Charakter eines Nachschlagewerkes: es ist dem Leser besser als bisher moglich, Nutzen und Strahlenrisiko gegeneinander abzuwagen.
