Ptolémée, 1475 / 1500 (4e quart du XVe siècle), par Juste de Gand et Pedro Berruguete https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/08/27/ptolemee-1475-1500-4e-quart-du-xve-siecle-par-juste-de-gand-et-pedro-berruguete/ #hermeneuticon #iconomancy #Ptolemy -
For those with an interest in ancient Egyptian history (and who doesn't?!), you may know of the Ptolemaic kingdom, an ancient Greek royal dynasty based in Egypt during the Hellenistic period. Founded in 305 BCE by Ptolemy I Soter, a general of Alexander the Great, it lasted nearly 300 years until the death of Cleopatra VII in 30 BCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_Kingdom
William E. Daehn has written a new book: Historical and Numismatic Timeline of the Ptolemaic Empire which looks quite interesting (though doesn't appear to be available outside the US yet). See this article in E-Sylum: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n32.html#article5

On a cloudy day in January, historian Ivan Malara sat in Italy’s National Central Library of Florence poring over seven 16th century printings of the ancient world’s most influential astronomy text.
The pages belonged to The #Almagest, in which second century polymath Claudius #Ptolemy described his vision of an Earth-centered cosmos.
As Malara flipped through the pages, he spotted something out of place.
Someone had transcribed Psalm 145 on an otherwise blank page—in handwriting reminiscent of a very, very famous Tuscan astronomer.
That book, Malara came to realize, had been extensively annotated by none other than Galileo #Galilei.
Malara’s discovery, described in a paper now under review at the Journal for the History of Astronomy, promises new insights into one of the most famous ideological transitions in the history of science: the moment when #Earth was thrust from the center of our #universe.

Cleopatra's four children were born into power but died in the shadow of Rome. Only one survived to rule. This is how Egypt's final royal line was erased.

How the oldest science in the world flourished in Toledo 1,000 years ago.
An international conference on the origins of galaxies pays tribute to the pioneering scientific cooperation between Muslims, Jews, and Christians that took place in Spain at the end of the Middle Ages.
