Its twenty-six ancient and thirty-six modern maps were drawn by Gastaldi and engraved by Giulio Sanuto. The work included Ruscelli`s commentary and a treatise on the practical fabrication of small globes by Galileo`s tutor and professor of applied mathemtics in Padua, Giuseppe Moletto. The verities of vision and representation are a recurrent theme in Ruscelli`s Ptolemaic commentary. Whishing to describe the whole earth on sphere or flat maps, Ptolemy had been obliged to use cartographic signs rather than mimetc images for cities, countries, and events. Ruscelli focuses on Ptolemy`s distinct mode of spatial represantation turn upon realtionships between eye and mind as tools for acquiring knowledge. Globes and world maps offer the means for humans to see the earth as a unity and thus to know it directly. But the visual image alone is insufficient. A text is also required; the globe maker produces an icontext, and Ruscelli compares Ptolemy unfavorably with Strabo as a writer of Regional description" (Denis E. Cosgrove, Apollo`s Eye.

‎Frisches und sauberes Hardcover-Exemplar in gutem Zustand mit Original-Schutzumschlag. - Englisch. - Claudius Ptolemäus (altgriechisch Klaúdios Ptolemaíos, lateinisch Claudius Ptolomaeus; * um 100, möglicherweise in Ptolemais Hermeiou, Ägypten; † nach 160, vermutlich in Alexandria) war ein griechischer Mathematiker, Geograph, Astronom, Astrologe, Musiktheoretiker und Philosoph. Er lebte in Alexandria in der römischen Provinz Ägypten. Insbesondere seine drei Werke zur Astronomie, Geografie und Astrologie galten in Europa bis zur frühen Neuzeit als wissenschaftliche Standardwerke und wichtige Datensammlungen. Das geographische Werk hatte 561/62 noch Cassiodor in der Hand, doch erst mit der lateinischen Übersetzung einer Abschrift aus Konstantinopel, die in Florenz ab 1397 erfolgte, wurde die Geographike Hyphegesis wieder rezipiert. Ptolemäus verfasste die mathematiké sýntaxis ("mathematische Zusammenstellung"), später megíste sýntaxis ("größte Zusammenstellung"), heute Almagest genannte Abhandlung zur Mathematik und Astronomie in 13 Büchern. Dieses Werk blieb bis zum Ende des Mittelalters das Standardwerk der Astronomie im europäischen Raum. Es enthielt neben einem ausführlichen Sternenkatalog eine detaillierte Ausarbeitung des geozentrischen Weltbilds, die später nach ihm ptolemäisches Weltbild genannt wurde. … (wiki) // INHALT : List of Illustrations - Preface - Note on Citations of Classical Authors - Introduction - What Ptolemy Expected His Reader to Know - The Place of the Geography in Ptolemy's Work - Ptolemy's Evolving Conception of the World - Marinos and Other Sources - Ptolemy's Map Projections and Coordinate Lists - The Manuscripts of the Geography - The Maps in the Manuscripts - Early Readers and Translators - Modern Editions and Translations of the Geography - Our Translation - Ptolemy, Guide to Drawing a Map of the World - Book 1 - Book 2 - Book 7 - Book 8 - Plates and Maps - Notes on the Plates and Maps - Plates 1-7 following p. 128 - Maps 1-8 - Appendices - Appendix A: The Journeys of Flaccus and Maternus to the Aithiopians - Appendix B: Marinos' Calculation of the Latitude of Cape Prason - Appendix C: The Trade Route across Central Asia - Appendix D: The Breadth of the Mediterranean According to Marinos and Ptolemy - Appendix E: The Sail to Kattigara - Appendix F: The Miscellaneous Criticisms of Marinos' Data - Appendix G: Textual Notes - Appendix H: Geographical Index - Bibliography - Index.

The Zeno map describes the purported journey of the author's ancestors in the 1390s to Greenland Iceland the mythical islands of Frisland and Icaria and what is now thought to be Newfoundland and Labrador. While Zeno shows Greenland connected to Norway Ruscelli has updated the map by eliminating this land bridge.

Six other New World maps include the South American continent Brazil Central America and the Baja Peninsula the eastern coast of North America Cuba and Hispaniola.

‎Geographie de Ptolemee en Occident (IVe-XVIe siecle)‎

‎, brepols, 2009 443 p., 30 colour ill., 210 x 270 mm, Languages: French Hardback. ISBN 9782503531649.‎

‎In Late Antiquity, Ptolemy?s treatise on cartography (second century AD) was yet to achieve the recognition that Ptolemy had hoped for, despite relatively wide distribution. However, in the early Middle Ages, knowledge of the Geographia did not disappear completely, owing mainly to treatises on astronomy translated from Arabic. The Latin version produced at the beginning of the 15th century did not, therefore, have the revolutionary character that is often attributed to it. The work that made it possible to understand the universe of Antiquity as it appeared in the classics was well received from the ?literary? point of view. But the astrologists and scientists educated in universities were instrumental, in a way that has, until now, been little studied, in analysing the contradictions between the Ptolemy?s representation of the universe and other representations that were still current and accepted. The long process of the modernisation of Ptolemy?s vision entered a decisive phase at the beginning of the second half of the fifteenth century following the synthesis between humanism and natural philosophy. It continued until the beginning of the sixteenth century, considering the modes of representation (anachronistically called ?projections?), retaining the concept of the influence of celestial bodies on the sublunar sphere, a feature of conceptions of the world held since Antiquity that the work of Ptolemy justified as best. This book questions a certain number of commonplaces of cultural history. It is based on the first hand analysis of Greek and Roman texts and maps from highly diverse intellectual backgrounds.‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 479 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:10 b/w, 4 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Arabic.* NEW ISBN 9782503607177.‎

‎Summary Ptolemy's Almagest (2nd century AD) is the most influential work of ancient and medieval astronomy. This work, however, does not tell us the full story about its author's views of the heavens. After completing the Almagest, Ptolemy turned his attention to a physical investigation of celestial motions. The result is the Planetary Hypotheses, a bold attempt to provide a celestial physics that coheres with the mathematical account of astronomical observations in his Almagest. This book provides the first complete critical edition and English translation of the Arabic version of the Planetary Hypotheses, which is lost for the most part in its original Greek. It furthermore provides an extensive commentary on the whole work, which situates the Planetary Hypotheses within the context of its time and investigates philosophical ideas central to the work. These include the epistemic value of mathematics relative to natural philosophy, and the shape, number, and dynamics of the celestial bodies. The book also investigates the influence of the Planetary Hypotheses on a wide range of medieval Arabic astronomical and philosophical works from the 9th to the 13th century AD. The upshot is to establish the Planetary Hypotheses as a crucial text for understanding the history of philosophy and science from Greek antiquity to the Arabic Middle Ages TABLE OF CONTENTS I Introduction II Astronomy, Natural Philosophy, and the Physical Reality of the Celestial Bodies III The Dynamics of Celestial Motions IV Conclusion V The Arabic Version of the Planetary Hypotheses: Edition and Translation VI Commentary Glossary Bibliography Index‎
