Best known for his 1906 discovery of lost texts in the Archimedes
Palimpsest, Danish scholar Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1854 1928),
professor of classical philology at Copenhagen, published numerous
editions of ancient mathematicians, including Archimedes and
Apollonius of Perga (also reissued in this series). Between 1898
and 1907, he published in three parts the extant astronomical works
of Ptolemy, active in second-century Alexandria. The Ptolemaic
system, his geocentric model of the universe, prevailed in the
Islamic world and in medieval Europe until the time of Copernicus.
This second part of Volume 1, published in 1903, contains a brief
Latin preface and the Greek text of Books 7-13 of Ptolemy's major
astronomical treatise, known as the Almagest. It demonstrates how
to use astronomical observations to construct cosmological models
and includes tables that make it possible for celestial phenomena
to be calculated for arbitrary dates."

Volume 2, published in 1907, contains a brief preface and a
substantial prolegomena in Latin, followed by the Greek text of
Ptolemy's shorter astronomical works, including Phaeis aplanon
asteron, a treatise on the phenomena of the fixed stars, and
Hypotheseis ton planomenon, his planetary hypotheses representing
the most influential statement of his geocentric model, provided
here with a facing-page translation into German."
