The history of the Ptolemaic tradition in these civilisations, however, has never been systematically researched. This book offers the first complete treatment for the Latin world. It includes a full survey of the Ptolemaic works (original works in translation, pseudepigrapha and commentaries), together with a catalogue of 693 manuscripts and 104 early printed editions (up to 1700 A.D.) of these works.This essential volume contains nothing less than the ultimate bibliographical and codicological survey of the entire Latin Ptolemaic tradition on astronomy and astrology up to AD 1700, in all its sprawling and oftentimes surprising detail. The end result is a monument of unrivalled erudition that breaks new ground on a page-by-page basis. It effectively puts contemporary research on the history of astronomy and astrology on a completely new foundation and is destined to remain the go-to resource in this area for many decades, if not centuries, to come (C.
