Review
The “Tetrabiblos” of the famous astronomer, astrologer, and geographer Claudius Ptolemaeus (c. 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 of the work is astrology, which in Ptolemy’s time as down to the Renaissance was fused as a respectable science with astronomy.
