This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geography of Ptolemy Elucidated It was after this that the work really began. The idea was - if it may be so described - to get to look over Ptolemy's shoulder while he was at work, and to investigate each succeeding point, until they could be combined into a consistent whole. This led to a rather large and wide amount of preliminary reading, which, however, fully repaid the time it cost. The most fitting method of work seemed to be by diagrams. When a subject was selected, the preparatory lines were put in, but nothing was added until it had been thoroughly tested; thus some of these diagrams remained on the board for days, or even weeks, always in view. Plates III. And VII. Were among the most troublesome. The error of Alexandria in the former was, for a time, left as unaccountable, until it was reproduced and explained in Plate VI. The difficulty in Plate VII. Was that, however much the data or calculation might be varied, there was constantly an outstanding error of either 5' or When this was found to be the interval between Londinium and Greenwich (see Plate IL), it was welcomed as another verification. Thus the work went on. I had no theory to support, and no object to serve. My interest in the subject was my only incentive.

Download or read book Ptolemy's Geography written by Ptolemy and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ptolemy's Geography is the only book on cartography to have survived from the classical period and one of the most influential scientific works of all time. Written in the second century AD, for more than fifteen centuries it was the most detailed topography of Europe and Asia available and the best reference on how to gather data and draw maps. Ptolemy championed the use of astronomical observation and applied mathematics in determining geographical locations. But more importantly, he introduced the practice of writing down coordinates of latitude and longitude for every feature drawn on a world map, so that someone else possessing only the text of the Geography could reproduce Ptolemy's map at any time, in whole or in part, at any scale. Here Berggren and Jones render an exemplary translation of the Geography and provide a thorough introduction, which treats the historical and technical background of Ptolemy's work, the contents of the Geography, and the later history of the work.

Book Synopsis Geography of Claudius Ptolemy by : Claudius Ptolemy
Download or read book Geography of Claudius Ptolemy written by Claudius Ptolemy and published by Cosimo Incorporated. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geography of Claudius Ptolemy, originally titled Geographia and written in the second century, is a depiction of the geography of the Roman Empire at the time. Though inaccurate due to Ptolemy's varying methods of measurement and use of outdated data, Geography of Claudius Ptolemy is nonetheless an excellent example of ancient geographical study and scientific method. This edition contains more than 40 maps and illustrations, reproduced based on Ptolemy's original manuscript. It remains a fascinating read for students of scientific history and Greek influence. CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY (A.D. 90- A.D. 168) was a poet, mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and geographer who wrote in Greek, though he was a Roman citizen. He is most well-known for three scientific treatises he wrote on astronomy, astrology, and geography, respectively titled Almagest, Apotelesmatika, and Geographia. His work influenced early Islamic and European studies, which in turn influenced much of the modern world. Ptolemy died in Alexandria as a member of Greek society.
