| Abstract: | The main purpose of the preceding chapters was to present modern students with an outline of the Almagest in such a way that its inner structure would become clear. A secondary purpose was to express the fundamental concepts and relations of Pto- lemaic astronomy in a way profitable to the study of Mediaeval astronomy. However, from the latter point of view it will be convenient to conclude with a few words on some other Ptolemaic works of particular importance to the Middle Ages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
