The "Tetrabiblos" of the famous astronomer and geographer
Claudius Ptolemaeus (ca. 100-178 CE) of Egypt consists of four
books, the title given in some manuscripts meaning 'Mathematical
Treatise in Four Books', in others 'The Prognostics addressed to
Syrus'. The subject is astrology, which in Ptolemy's time as down
to the Renaissance was fused as a respectable science with
astronomy. Translations and commentaries are few, and only three
Greek texts had been printed (all in the 16th century) before the
present one and the one begun by F. Boll and finished by Emilie
Boer in 1940.
