The Book of Astronomy in Antiquity (Concise Edition)
Ptolemy
Description
Ptolemy’s The Almagest brought together the ideas of Greek Antiquity, that the sun and planets revolved around the earth, the geocentric view which was used by European, Byzantine and Islamic scholars for 1400 years until Copernicus placed the sun as the focus of the solar system. This new book offers an accessible version of Ptolemy’s great work.
