EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed illustration of Ptolemy's System, taken from the renowned book "Science and Literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance". Created by Paul Lacroix in 1878, this engraving offers a glimpse into the ancient world of astronomy and geography. The image features various elements such as signs of the zodiac, celestial and terrestrial globes, as well as Cardinal Bessarion, an astronomer and geographer. Ptolemy himself is depicted alongside other significant figures like authors of ephemeredes between 1475 to 1506. Ptolemy was a mathematician who flourished during AD 127-145 in Alexandria. The intricate details captured in this print highlight the complexity and sophistication of Ptolemaic astronomy. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with understanding our place within the cosmos. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph not only captures historical significance but also represents an important era where science merged with literature. The English School from the 19th century skillfully immortalized this momentous work through their lens. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece for all to appreciate its beauty and educational value. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded that knowledge knows no bounds - transcending time itself.
