Note 165 — Chapter I · THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE ANCIENT WORLD
Reading edition
The questions of whether or not Ptolemy drew maps to accompany the text of his Geography, whether or not the existing maps in Greek manuscripts and in printed fifteenth-century texts of Ptolemy’s Geography can really be ascribed to Ptolemy, and whether they are more, or 377less, authentic than the texts of the Geography are the subject of bitter controversies in the history of geography. For further discussion of this matter and for references to the literature dealing with it, see the works of Dinse, Schütte, Tudeer, and Fischer, cited in the Bibliography.
