41. Ptolemy (ca. 100-ca. 170) -- From Eric Weisstein's World Of Scientific Biography ptolemy (ca. 100ca. 170), ptolemy believed the planets and Sun to orbitthe Earth in the order Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Ptolemy.html

Branch of Science Philosophers Nationality Greek Ptolemy (ca. 100-ca. 170) Roman name: Claudius Ptolemaeus. Greek philosopher who synthesized and extended Hipparchus's system of epicycles and eccentric circles to explain his geocentric theory of the solar system. Ptolemy believed the planets and Sun to orbit the Earth in the order Mercury Venus Sun Mars ... Saturn This system became known as the Ptolemaic system and predicted the positions of the planets accurately enough for naked-eye observations, although it made some ridiculous predictions, such as that the distance to the moon should vary by a factor of two over its orbit. Ptolemy, who also wrote Tetrabiblos , a work on astrology, described his system in the book Mathematical Syntaxis (widely called the Almagest ). The Almagest also included a star catalog containing 48 constellations, using the names we still use today. Ptolemy also investigated the refraction of light in water, but altered his data to fit the form of the mathematical law he postulated to be correct. Additional biographies: MacTutor (St. Andrews)

Near the sea and to the west of Patara it was built on the southern slope of Cragus, to the north-west of the estuary of the Kanthus. Its history is unknown; its ruins, which prove it to have been an unimportant place, are near the village of Doodoorgar, in the vilayet of Koniah, and consist of a theatre, agora, temples, tombs, and some inscriptions. Le Quien, "Oriens christianus", I, 973, mentions three of its bishops: Hypatius, who signed the letter of the bishops of Lycia to the Emperor Leo, 458; Zemarchus, at the councils of Constantinople in 680 and 692; Nicodemus, at Nicaea, 787; Eustathius, present at the Council of Seleucia, 359, was bishop both of Pinara and of Sidyma (see Le Quien, ibid., 975). The see is mentioned by the Greek "Notitiae episcopatuum" until the thirteenth century.

Based largely on an earlier work by Hipparchus (ca. 140 BC) it was included in Ptolemy's definitive Syntaxis Mathematica , better known by its Arabic name Almagest . In this paper I will describe the geometric theorems used in the construction of this table and attempt to relate them to their contemporary trigonometric counterparts.

People In The History Of Astronomy Background Pythagoras Ptolemy Copernicus ... Stephen Hawking Background          One of the most powerful creations of Greek science was the mathematical astronomy created by Hipparchus in the second century B.C. and given final form by Ptolemy in the second century A.D. Ptolemy's work was known in the Middle Ages through imperfect Latin versions. In fifteenth-century Italy, however, it was brought back to life. George Trebizond, a Cretan emigre in the curia, produced a new translation and commentary. These proved imperfect and aroused much heated criticism. But a German astronomer, Johannes Regiomontanus, a protege of the brilliant Greek churchman Cardinal Bessarion, came to Italy with his patron, learned Greek, and produced a full-scale "Epitome" of Ptolemy's work from which most astronomers learned their art for the next century and more. Copernicus was only one of the celebrities of the Scientific Revolution whose work rested in large part on the study of ancient science carried out in fifteenth-century Italy.

Ptolemy I (Soter I) 323-285 B.C. Ptolemaic Dynasty Upon the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, the throne of Egypt fell to Ptolemy I, the son of Lagus. He was a veteran soldier and trusted commander who had served Alexander. He started the Ptolemaic Dynasty, which lasted about 300 years. He ran Egypt like a business, strictly for profit. One of the few surviving works of Ptolemy I Soter is the temple of Kom Abu Billo, which was dedicated to Hathor "Mistress of Mefket".

Ptolemy V Epiphanes 205-180 B.C. Ptolemaic Dynasty Ptolemy V Epiphanes was the fifth ruler of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. He was the son of Ptolemy IV Philopator and Arsinoe III. He became king after his father's death, when he was only five years old. After his father's death, his mother was eager to become the next regent. Ptolemy IV Philopator's two most powerful ministers, Sosibius and Agathocles had Arsinoe murdered. He was passed from the control of one adviser to another. The Rosetta Stone gives the trilingual inscription of the ceremonies attending the coronation of Ptolemy V Epiphanes. He was married to Cleopatra I. He died at the age of twenty-eight while putting down the last of the insurgents in the Delta. There were rumors that he had been poisoned. He left his wife, who was the daughter of Antiochus, as regent for their young son Ptolemy VI Philomentor.

WWW. Roman-Britain .ORG The Geography of Ptolemy The British Section I know that I am mortal and the creature of a day: but when I search out the massed wheeling circles of the stars, my feet no longer touch the earth, but, side by side with Zeus himself, I take my fill of ambrosia, the food of the gods. P TOLEMY Claudius Ptolemaeus was a celebrated geographer and astrologer who flourished between the reigns of Hadrian and Antonine in the second century AD. A greek by descent, he was a native of Alexandria in Egypt, and became known as the most wise and learned man of his time. He published several books on astronomy, including The Almagest which gave the positions of 1022 fixed stars by latitude and longitude, his discovery of the precession of the equinoxes , and also expounded an Earth-centred view on the workings of the universe based on epicycles - the Ptolemaic System - which was to remain unchallenged until the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus published his theory on a Sun-centred universe, the now-familiar Solar System, in AD1543.
