Ptolemy's Almagest shares with Euclid's Elements the glory of being the scientific text longest in use. From its conception in the second century up to the late Renaissance, this work determined astronomy as a science. During this time the Almagest was not only a work on astronomy; the subject was defined as what is described in the Almagest. The cautious emancipation of the late middle ages and the revolutionary creation of the new science in the 16th century are not conceivable without reference to the Almagest. This text lifted European astronomy to the high standard of knowledge on which the new science flourished. Before, the Ptolemaic models of the orbits of the sun, the moon, and the planets had been refined by Arabic astronomers. They provided the structural elements with which Copernicus and Kepler ushered in the era of modern astronomy. The Almagest survived the destruction of its epicyclic representation of the planetary orbits in the conceptual traces left behind in the theories of its successors. The clear separation of the sidereal from the tropical year, the celestial coordinate systems, the concepts of time, the forms of the constellations, and brightness classifications of celestial objects are, among many other things, still part of the astronomical canon even today.

This easy-to-follow book offers a statistico-geometrical approach for dating ancient star catalogs. The authors' scientific methods reveal statistical properties of ancient catalogs and overcome the difficulties of their dating originated by the low accuracy of these catalogs. Methods are tested on reliably dated medieval star catalogs and applied to the star catalog of the Almagest. Here, the dating of Ptolemy's famous star catalog is reconsidered and recalculated using modern mathematical techniques.The text provides necessary information from astronomy and astrometry. It also covers the history of observational equipment and methods for measuring coordinates of stars. Many chapters are devoted to the Almagest, from a preliminary analysis to a global statistical processing of the catalog and its basic parts. Mathematics are simplified in this book for easy reading. This book will prove invaluable for mathematicians, astronomers, astrophysicists, specialists in natural sciences, historians interested in mathematical and statistical methods, and second-year mathematics students.Features:

Excerpt from Ptolemy's Cataloque of Stars: A Revision of the Almagest When Dr. Peters and myself met in Paris in April 1887, we had some long conversations on the subject. He told me he did not intend to visit England, and it was agreed that I should investigate all the sources of information possessed in the libraries there, and I particularly undertook to examine the Greek Selden Alma gest at Oxford, and several Arabic manuscripts, and send him the results. In this and the following year many letters and discussions passed between us. In a letter dated August 14, 1888, received by Dr. Peters August 25, I asked what steps he had taken towards publication, and considering the contributions I had made from the manuscripts in this country, I asked How far he would like, and would think it right, that my name should be associated with his as a joint author? But I assured him I was quite single-minded in the matter, and that my interest was removed from any idea of a personal character. This letter remained unanswered, probably because no Steps had been taken towards preparing any part of the work for publication. On July 18, 1890, Dr. Peters died. It is unnecessary here to give an account of his life, which has been so fully dealt with in the addresses delivered on that occasion by Dr. Isaac H. Hall and Professor Oren Root, and in the pages of the monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. On September 3, 1890, I addressed a letter to the executors of Dr. Peters, asking to be informed in what state his work on the Almagest remained with reference to publication, and requesting that the manuscripts might be sent to me to complete, and on November 9, 1891, all of his manuscripts and notes relating to this work, with some important exceptions, were sent to me.

Ptolemy's Almagest is one of the most influential scientific works in history. A masterpiece of technical exposition, it was the basic textbook of astronomy for more than a thousand years, and still is the main source for our knowledge of ancient astronomy. This translation, based on the standard Greek text of Heiberg, makes the work accessible to English readers in an intelligible and reliable form. It contains numerous corrections derived from medieval Arabic translations and extensive footnotes that take account of the great progress in understanding the work made in this century, due to the discovery of Babylonian records and other researches. It is designed to stand by itself as an interpretation of the original, but it will also be useful as an aid to reading the Greek text.
