almegesteDefinition: Ptolemy`s major workEtymology: The Almagest is a work of mathematical astronomy written ca. ad 150 by Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemaeus of Alexandria). It was the most advanced work of its kind and served as the basic guide for Islamic and European astronomers until Nikolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) and Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). The original name of the work was Mathematike Syntaxis ("The Mathematical Arrangement"); Almagest was as a corruption of the Greek word for greatest (megiste) with the Arabic definite article (al). The work was translated into Arabic and then from Arabic to Latin in the last half of the 12th century.
