Gerberto e la Geografia Tolemaica
Abstract
The horologia are ancient ephemerides, tables of durations of the days and nights during all months of the year. The algorithms used to compute the horologia are here presented and the results are compared with the tables computed by Gerbert in the letter to Adam. The Ptolemaic geography is the framework in which Gerbert made his calculations.
