* **Cartography and Mapmaking**:

* Ptolemy's "**Geography**" is a detailed discussion of maps and geographical knowledge of the Greco-Roman world 【1】. It introduces the concept of representing the known world in picture form 【2】.
* It includes a system of grid lines for plotting latitude and longitude, which allowed for more accurate location of places 【3】【4】.
* Connect to books on the history of cartography, map projections, and the development of geographic coordinate systems.

* **Ancient Geography**:

* The book compiles geographic knowledge possessed by the Greco-Roman world 【3】 and charts over 8,000 places from the Canary Islands to Korea 【5】.
* Ptolemy defines geography as a representation in picture of the whole known world together with the phenomena contained therein 【2】.
* Connect to books about ancient civilizations, Roman history, and the geography of the ancient world. You can also find connections to books that discuss specific regions described by Ptolemy, such as Hibernia (Ireland) 【6】 or Gallia Belgica 【7】.

* **Historical and Scientific Context**:

* Ptolemy was a mathematician, astronomer, and geographer who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, during the Roman era 【8】【9】.
* His work includes some inaccuracies 【3】 and reflects the accumulated knowledge of the Earth's features at that time 【10】.
* Connect to books on the history of science, ancient astronomy, and the scientific achievements of the Greco-Roman world.

* **Influence and Rediscovery**:

* The rediscovery and translation of "**Geographia**" in fifteenth-century Italy revolutionized ideas about cosmology 【5】.
* Ptolemy's geographical theories resonated for centuries with ancient civilizations, including Islamic and European societies 【8】.
* Connect to books on the Renaissance, the history of geographical exploration, and the impact of classical texts on the development of science and geography.
