Ptolemy was the most important physical scientist of the Roman
Empire, and for a millennium and a half his writings on astronomy,
astrology, and geography were models for imitation, resources for
new work, and targets of criticism. Ptolemy in Perspective traces
reactions to Ptolemy from his own times to ours. The nine studies
show the complex processes by which an ancient scientist and his
work gained and subsequently lost an overreaching reputation and
authority.
