... an ancient form of nautical almanac or "ephemeris". Mathematics could now not only be used to predict but to demonstrate whether a particular theory was correct or not. Ptolemy developed several theories of his own contrary to the beliefs of many other Greek astrologers at the time. He upheld that the "heavens" consisted of bodies orbiting the earth in a celestial path - this idea was supported for some time. Though his views were altered by the Renaissance (the sun was now placed at the centre), orbital concepts remain in modern astronomy. Ptolemy was familiar with a early type of astroblade.
