At some time around 200 A.D., the Stoic philosopher and teacher
Cleomedes delivered a set of lectures on elementary astronomy as
part of a complete introduction to Stoicism for his students. The
result was "The Heavens" (Caelestia), the only work by a
professional Stoic teacher to survive intact from the first two
centuries A.D., and a rare example of the interaction between
science and philosophy in late antiquity. This volume contains a
clear and idiomatic English translation - the first ever - of "The
Heavens", along with an informative introduction, detailed notes,
and technical diagrams. This important work will now be accessible
to specialists in both ancient philosophy and science and to
readers interested in the history of astronomy and cosmology but
with no knowledge of ancient Greek.
