Simplicius on the Planets and Their Motions: In Defense of a Heresy

Brill (2012)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The book contends that the digression ending Simplicius’ In de caelo 2.12 is not a proper history of early Greek planetary theory, but a creative atempt to show that to accept Ptolemy’s planetary hypotheses one need not repudiate Aristotle’s argument that the cosmos is eternal
