Randall Collins has done some very interesting work on networks of philosophers, et al., going back into antiquity, but I don't remember just how far back. --Alvin Wolfe Collins, Randall. 1992. Caught in the Structural Crunch: The Timing of Network Contact and Intellectual Creativity. Paper presented at the International Sun Belt Social Network Conference, Tampa, February 1992.

He was especially interested in the nets of Marc Antony (_not the fashion designer_ but his predecessor). Now must of us know thanks to John Padgett and the UCINet demos about the Florentine nets of the Medici, et al. Are there other such studies?
