2.0 out of 5 stars A doxography, March 29, 2000

Gary Thomas - See all my reviews

This review is from: Greek Astronomy (Dover Books on Astronomy) (Paperback)

I had to look up "Doxography" in the Oxford English Dictionary - it is a collection of philosophical opinions. The book "Greek Astronomy" is a Dover reprint of a book written in 1932. It consists of a long (57 pages) introduction followed by a great many quotes (rendered into English) from ancient Greek authors. The selection emphasizes general questions, such as "Does the Earth move?" - according to Ptolemy it does not. Perhaps useful as a souce book. But then again, perhaps not.
