The celebrated work of Ptolemy of Alexandria, which contains nearly all that is known of the astronomical observations and theories of the ancients. The name was extended to other similar works.
comprehensive treatise or textbook, especially on astronomy, generally the treatise of Ptolemy.
Book compiled by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy during the 2nd century AD, which included the idea of an Earth-centered universe; it was translated into Arabic. Some medieval books on astronomy, astrology, and alchemy were given the same title.
Each section of the book deals with a different branch of astronomy. The introduction describes the universe as spherical and contains arguments for the Earth being stationary at the center. From this mistaken assumption, it goes on to describe the motions of the Sun, Moon, and planets; eclipses; and the positions, brightness, and precession of the “fixed stars”. The book drew on the work of earlier astronomers such as Hipparchus.
