Almagest (Arabic translation)

The "Almagest" is a significant ancient astronomical text originally written by the Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy in the 2nd century. An Arabic translation of this work helped preserve and spread its knowledge during the Islamic Golden Age. The text presents a geocentric model, explaining planetary movements and star catalogs, influencing astronomy for centuries. It served as a reference for scholars in the Islamic world and later in Europe, shaping our understanding of the cosmos until the heliocentric model emerged. The Almagest represents a crucial link between ancient and modern science.
