In the "Introduction to the Phenomena", Geminos provided a clear view of Greek astronomy in the period between Hipparchos and Ptolemy. This book, an English translation of Geminos' work, is accompanied by an introduction and commentary that set Geminos' work in its historical, scientific, and philosophical context.
