Handy Canon of Ptolemy 1 by Deb I realise that I don't know much at all about this text, even though I see constant references to it. Does anybody know if it is still possible to see a copy (in any language), or to get a copy somehow (a hard copy or a digital copy)? Any information that anyone has about the text and its use and influence will be very much appreciated. Thanks Deb Quote Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:52 pm

3 by Deb Thanks! I can't find the details very easily, but it gives me something to work on (why do I have the feeling that it cannot possibly be that easy ? ) Quote Thu Mar 19, 2009 6:50 pm
4 by Mark Good luck with your research Deb, I seem to remember James Holden stating in his 'History of Horoscopic Astrology ' that Ptolemy's Handy Tables were far more disseminated than either the Tetrabiblos or the Almagest.
