mail: Bill Thayer Italiano Help Up Home Ptolemy: the Geography The Author: Claudius Ptolemy was an astronomer and mathematician of the 2c A.D. , whose exact dates we do not know, but who must apparently have worked in Alexandria between A.D. 127 and 148 since some of his astronomical observations are consistent with those dates. A.D. Tetrabiblos No, you shouldn't believe any of that last paragraph, but I couldn't resist. It is sad that, as with so many figures of Antiquity, we know next to nothing about the man himself. For a good summary of his work, though, try Ptolemy, the Man ; and Historical Astrology In Egypt for a good page focusing mostly on his astrological work, even if the page refers to him as "dabbling" in geography. . . For an attempt to reconstruct what he actually looked like, based on medieval portraits (an enterprise which I view as altogether quixotic), see this excellent website: Iconography of Ptolemy's Portrait The Text: This is another useful text that didn't seem to be on the Web when I started getting interested in it. Details will follow, but for now the bare essentials: this is, as occasionally modified by me, a transcript of a Dover edition, first published in 1991, itself an unabridged republication of a public domain work, originally published in 1932 by The New York Public Library, N.Y. in an edition limited to 250 copies, with the title Geography of Claudius Ptolemy Apparently I'm not alone in my disappointment. Aubrey Diller, in "Review of 'Geography of Claudius Ptolemy', translated into English and edited by Edward Luther Stevenson (1932),"
