Abstract
This exciting collection of articles was a result of a 2015 conference by the same name, “Ptolemy’s Science of the Stars in the Middle Ages”, sponsored by the Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus (PAL). Like the entire PAL project, this work highlights Arabic and Latin scholars’ criticisms of, inquiries into, and refutations of, the Ptolemaic corpus and astrological conceptions of the universe. Consisting of 15 articles organized into three sections—“The Greek and Near Eastern Traditions”, “The Arabic Tradition”, and “The Latin Tradition”—this collection is comprehensive. It features novel, important research on Ptolemy’s works and the influence of Ptolemaic thought by top scholars in the field. The volume will be of particular value to specialists but is accessible to others interested in the history of astronomy and mathematics.
