EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print showcases the esteemed figure of Ptolemy, a renowned Alexandrian astronomer, mathematician, and geographer from the 2nd century A. D. With his distinguished beard and mustache framing his face, Ptolemy's portrait exudes wisdom and intellect. The artist has skillfully captured the essence of this Hellenic Republic scientist, who made significant contributions to our understanding of celestial bodies and their movements. The intricate details in this woodcut emphasize Ptolemy's importance as a scholar during the Iron Age. His work on astronomy laid the foundation for future discoveries in this field. As a mathematician, he developed sophisticated mathematical models that accurately predicted planetary positions. Additionally, his geographical studies greatly advanced cartography by introducing concepts such as latitude and longitude. This historic image is taken from Reusners Icones published in Basle, Switzerland in 1589. It serves as a testament to Ptolemy's enduring legacy even centuries after his time. This print not only captures an ancient figure but also represents the pursuit of knowledge that transcends time.
