Eratosthenis Geographicorum Fragmenta (1789)

Eratosthenis Geographicorum Fragmenta is a book written by Eratosthenes, a Greek mathematician, geographer, and astronomer who lived in the third century BC. The book is a collection of fragments from Eratosthenes' works on geography, which were lost over time. The fragments cover a wide range of topics, including the geography of ancient Greece, the Mediterranean, and the world beyond. They also include descriptions of the Earth's shape and size, as well as the first attempt to calculate the Earth's circumference. The book is a valuable resource for scholars interested in ancient geography and the history of science. It was first published in 1789 and has since been translated into many languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
