“…His findings on the relationship between the Moon and the tide were demonstrated in beautiful "tidal rota," which were in effect tide tables (Fig. 1.1) (Edson, 1996;Hughes, 2003). • Similar notions to those of Ptolemy were espoused by the Persian astrologer Ab u Ma'shar (787-886) (Hecht, 2019), while in a book on the Wonders of Creation, the Arabian scientist Zakariya al-Qazwani (1203-83) attempted to explain that the flowing tide is caused by the Sun and Moon heating the waters and making them expand.…”

“…This rota probably came from the library at Fleury in France in the late ninth century.

Cosmography and the Idea of Hyperborea in Ancient Greece

Cosmography is defined here as the rhetoric of cosmology: the art of composing worlds. The mirage of Hyperborea, which played a substantial role in Greek religion and culture throughout Antiquity, offers a remarkable window into the practice of composing and reading worlds. This book follows Hyperborea across genres and centuries, both as an exploration of the extraordinary record of Greek thought on that further North and as a case study of ancient cosmography and the anthropological philology that tracks ancient cosmography. Trajectories through the many forms of Greek thought on Hyperborea shed light on key aspects of the cosmography of cult and the cosmography of literature. The philology of worlds pursued in this book ranges from Archaic hymns to Hellenistic and Imperial reconfigurations of Hyperborea. A thousand years of cosmography is thus surveyed through the rewritings of one idea. This is a book on the art of reading worlds slowly.
