Forum: Editors/Reviewers Hangout

I saw the Book about 50 years ago. Recently got the pages in a PDF but it is the 1562 translation of a 1400 MS. I hate to say it but although I know some Latin, it looks like Greek or older Latin to me. Anybody read this older Greek or Latin that would help. It's sort of a rare Book, last came to the USA in 1907 and 1949. Like I said in 50 years only saw/heard from it once. Called The Book of Ptolomy one of 23/24 of this type.
Thanks

I relooked at the scans and it is Latin not Greek. Looks like it is GEOGRAPHIA not the 1400 PDF for the Almagest. Scans came from a book G 404.15 from the Boston Library.
Thanks for the input and help

It seems to have both map and comment annotations and shows 712 pages rather than the 218 from the 1406 translation.

I was hoping to find the 24th book summarizing the Astrology first 23 books.

Thanks for the references, from what I gather different understandings have been made about this one, the Southern lands too

Thanks

I know the Almagest(4 Books) is part of the 23 books in the series I was thinking of, another was, I think 9 books the rest 4 or 5. The 24th was never completed and referred to the other 23ooks in such a way that a different interpretation might be reached.
From what little I know, I think the Catholic Church still teaches an earth centric version of the universe like in the Tetrabiblos in some? theological seminaries rather than a Sun centric one.

I remember some section on the INet made mention of what were those 23 books but did not name the 24th.(1995 or so)
The one I saw was old and in Greek and Arabic both and came from Eastern Europe about 1959-61 I think.

Not a well known area and I appreciate all your thoughts, they are more than I expected even
