Astronomie 16e siecle: le systeme de Ptolemee. Claude Ptolemee (Claudius Ptolemaeus) (vers 90-vers 168 apres JC) developpe sa theorie sur la structure de l'univers au 2e siecle, et place la Terre au centre du cosmos. Gravure sur bois, mise en couleur, tiree de l'edition de 1535, du Margarita Philosophica (Perle de la sagesse), par Gregor Reisch (1467-1525), encyclopedie en 12 livres, compilant des commentaires sur l'astronomie, les mathematiques, la medecine, la musique, la geographie et l'histoire naturelle. The Ptolemaic system, from 'Margarita Philosophica', 1535. Plantinotype print showing the structure of the world according to the Ptolemaic system that placed the Earth at the centre of the cosmos. Proposed by Claudius Ptolemy in the second century AD it was accepted truth until Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) suggested an alternative Sun centred scheme in 1453. The print is taken from 'Margarita Philosophica' (Pearl of Wisdom), 1535 edition (p 521), written by the medieval philosopher, Gregor Reisch (1467-1525). This encyclopaedic work contains commentaries on the subjects of astronomy, geometry, anatomy and geography. ©SSPL/Science Museum
