Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Das “Handbuch der Geographie” des Klaudios Ptolemaios, das kurz nach 150 n. Chr. in Alexandria verfasst wurde, ist eines der bedeutendsten wissenschaftlichen Werke der antiken Literatur. In seinen 8 Buchern fasst es das ganze geographische Wissen der Antike zusammen und bleibt mit seinen neuartigen Projektionsmethoden, seinen etwa 8000 meist mit Koordinaten bestimmten Ortsangaben und seinem farbigen Kartenatlas bis zur Schwelle der Neuzeit unerreicht. Das seit der Ausgabe von C.F.A. Nobbe von 1843/45 nie mehr vollstandig edierte Werk wird in der durchgehend neu bearbeiteten zweisprachigen Ausgabe wieder allgemein zuganglich gemacht.
