GENERAL REMARKS:

Claudius Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemaus - c. AD 100 - c. AD 170), was a Greco-Egyptian writer, know as a Matematician, Astronomer, Geographer, Astrologer, and Poet of a single Epigram in the Greek Anthology.

The first is the Astronomical Treatise now Known as the Almagest, althugh it was originally entitled the "Mathematical Treatise" and than know as the "Great Treatise".

The Third is the Astrological Treatise in which he attempted to adapt Horoscopic Astrology to the Aristotelian Natural Philosophy of his day. This is sometimes known as the Apotelesmatika but more commonly as the Tetrabiblos from Greec meaning "Four Books" or by the Latin Quadripartium. . Claudius Ptolemy, died at Alexandria (Egypt...) in the AD 168 about;
