The Iberian Peninsula
in Ptolemy’s Geography
Olivier Defaux
BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD
composed his
Geography
in the
city of Alexandria, one of the most prominent intellec-
tual centres of the Roman Empire. His work o ers a
comprehensive description of the known world as well
as insight into the practice of scholarly geography dur-
ing the second century
CE
. Ptolemy’s most important
innovation in this field was his use of geographical co-
ordinates to create maps of the world, and his catalogue,
with its latitudes and longitudes of thousands of locali-
ties, is one of our most valuable sources on the antique
oikoumenē.
Very little is known, however, about the
sources and working methods that Ptolemy employed
to produce his
Geography.
This book focuses on Ptole-
my’s description of the Iberian peninsula and examines
two problematic and interlinked topics relating to the
origins of the catalogue of localities: Ptolemy’s sources
and scientific methods on the one hand, and the textual
transmission of the
Geography,
from Ptolemy to the
extant manuscripts, on the other.
