*’geometric construction’ used by ‘hipparchus’ in his determination of the distances to the Sun and Moon*

“WRONG!”

(/ˈælməˌdʒɛst/)

*the almagest is a greek-language mathematical and astronomical treatise (from the 100s) on the apparent motions of the stars and planetary paths, written by ‘claudius ptolemy’ (c. AD 100 – c. 170)*
.
(one of the most influential scientific texts of all time, its geocentric model was accepted for more than 1200 years from its origin in ‘Hellenistic Alexandria’, in the medieval Byzantine and Islamic worlds, and in Western Europe through the Middle Agesand early Renaissance until ‘Copernicus’)
(the Almagest is the critical source of information on ancient greek astronomy)
(it has also been valuable to students of ‘mathematics’ because it documents the ancient greek mathematician Hipparchus’s work, which has been lost)
(‘Hipparchus’ wrote about ‘trigonometry’, but because his works appear to have been lost, mathematicians use Ptolemy’s book as their source for Hipparchus’s work and ancient greek trigonometry in general)
(‘Ptolemy’ set up a public inscription at Canopus, Egypt, in 147 or 148)
(“N. T. Hamilton” found that the version of Ptolemy’s models set out in the Canopic Inscription was earlier than the version in the ‘Almagest’)
(hence it cannot have been completed before about 150, a quarter century after ‘ptolemy’ began observing)
