Claudius Ptolemy, Greek-Roman Polymath

Claudius Ptolemy (90-168 AD), was a Greek-Roman citizen of Egypt (Claudius is a Roman name and Ptolemaeus is a Greek name). He was a mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer, and poet of a single epigram in the Greek Anthology. Ptolemy was the author of several scientific treatises. His astronomical treatise, the Almagest, is the only surviving comprehensive ancient treatise on astronomy. Ptolemy's other main work is his Geographia, a compilation of what was known about the world's geography in the Roman Empire during his time. His astrological treatise, a work in four parts, is known by the Greek term Tetrabiblos, or the Latin equivalent Quadripartitum: Four Books in which he attempted to adapt horoscopic astrology to the Aristotelian natural philosophy of his day. It was used and consulted for over 1000 years. Ptolemy also wrote an influential work, Harmonics, on music theory and the mathematics of music. Few details of Ptolemy's private life are known for certain.

Título:
Claudius Ptolemy, Greek-Roman Polymath
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Claudio Ptolomeo (90-168 d.C.), fue un ciudadano greco-romano de Egipto (Claudio es un nombre romano y Ptolomeo es un nombre griego). Fue matemático, astrónomo, geógrafo, astrólogo y poeta de un único epigrama de la Antología griega. Ptolomeo fue autor de varios tratados científicos. Su tratado astronómico, el Almagesto, es el único tratado antiguo completo sobre astronomía que se conserva. La otra obra principal de Ptolomeo es su Geographia, una recopilación de lo que se sabía sobre la geografía mundial en el Imperio Romano durante su época. Su tratado astrológico, una obra en cuatro partes, se conoce con el término griego Tetrabiblos, o el equivalente latino Quadripartitum: Cuatro libros en los que intentó adaptar la astrología horoscópica a la filosofía natural aristotélica de su época. Fue utilizado y consultado durante más de 1000 años. Ptolomeo también escribió una obra influyente, Armónicos, sobre teoría musical y matemáticas de la música. Se conocen con certeza pocos detalles de la vida privada de Ptolomeo.
