"Ptolemaic geography" as a book-category denotes works centered on the geographic thought, maps and legacy associated with Claudius Ptolemy’s Geographia and the broader Ptolemaic mapping tradition—including critical editions and translations of Geographia, facsimiles and studies of medieval and Renaissance Ptolemaic atlases, scholarly reconstructions of ancient places using Ptolemy’s coordinates, and technical analyses of his projection and coordinate methods. It also commonly embraces historical-geographical studies of the Hellenistic (Ptolemaic dynasty) world in Egypt and the eastern Mediterranean when relevant to classical mapping. Typical titles range from academic monographs and annotated editions to illustrated atlases and exhibition catalogues, and the field sits at the intersection of classics, history of science, cartography and historical geography—appealing to historians, cartographers, classicists, and map collectors interested in how the ancient world was measured, mapped and transmitted through later eras.
