	TMTh:: MARINOS OF TYRE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Marinos drew a map using a cylindrical projection and "meridional parts" (linear length of one minute of longitude), which have an application in navigation.
		He was the first to use the "Meridian of the Isles of the Blest" (Canary Islands, at the western edge of the known world) as the starting-point for the measurement of longitude, and the parallel that passes through Gibraltar and Rhodes (36?) as the starting-point for the measurement of geographic latitude.
		Marinos divided the globe into "time zones" (hourly equatorial intervals), assembled data on the geography of different places, and drew a map that for the first time ever gave an accurate image of the known continents and countries.

	The Folding Society - Folding Society News No 48
		A new tyre in the 349 (16inch) size carrying the Brompton logo was fairly widely expected, but in the event we were surprised to hear that there is not just one new tyre, but two - there is an option of whether a Kevlar belt is fitted or not.
		The tyres look quite smart - they have a thin reflective strip on the side wall, like the latest Birdy tyres, and have plenty of rubber, suggesting (though no proof yet) that life should be good.
		Fitting the new tyre to the front wheel required a lot of effort, and left me very concerned that I would/will have trouble repairing punctures during rides, particularly in cold weather when the hands are not working well.

	Talk:Great circle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The title of his work literally means ‘Corrections in the map of the world' or ‘Corrections in the map of the inhabited world', which goes to show that Marinus of Tyre wanted to improve and revise one or several works of earlier mapmakers.
		While Strabo, who lived between 58 BC and 24 AD, kept Eratosthenes' measurements of 252 thousand stadia for the circumference of the Earth, that is 700 stadia per degree, Marino uses Posidonius's calculations of 180 thousand stadia, with a degree of 500 stadia (Antonio Ballesteros Beretta: Génesis del descubrimiento, vol 3, Barcelona, Salvat 1947).
		A stadium is an old Greek measurement of length, the equivalent of 600 old Greek feet (192.27m) or 125 paces, which was the exact distance separating the columns in the great amphitheatre of Olympia.

		There is a good discussion of Ptolemy's most prominent source, Marinos of Tyre.
		Ptolemy's relationship to his predecessors in the field of astronomy (especially Hipparchus) has been the subject of some debate in history of science circles, and so his use of (and debt to) Marinos in the Geography will be of some interest.
		Rather than evaluating Ptolemy's data in terms of its accuracy, B & J look at it in terms of why he was using particular bits of data, why he saw some kinds of reports as more credible than others, and how these reports were convincing to an ancient geographer.

		In the interval between the two battles, Alexander captured Tyre, Sidon and Gaza, conquered Egypt and founded Alexandria, destined to become perhaps the greatest intellectual and commercial center of all time.
		Marinos of Tyre, the Greek geographer who preserved the account of this first known exploration of the Silk Roads, bitterly laments the paucity of information bought back: "In the course of a seven-month journey they didn't bring back a single bit of information worth recording".
		The Byzantines took advantage of the advent of this new power athwart the Silk Roads: They made an alliance with the Turkish khan to bypass the Sassanians entirely, by opening a route to the north of the Caspian Sea.

		Written in the second century of our era, Ptolemy's Geography is the only ancient work on map-making to survive.
		It was based on a previous work by Marinos of Tyre, about whom little is known, so that most of the prehistory of Ptolemy's book involves mere speculation.
		The work (first written as a scroll) was known throughout the Middle Ages.

		Ibn Khaldun was unusual among Arab writers in that he used a few non-Muslim sources, including a world history survey from the Roman period by the Christian writer Paulus Orosius, which in turn drew on Sallust, Tacitus, Livy, and others.
		Ptolemy clearly believed in building on secondary sources rather than starting with oral tradition and primary source material, and he admits that much of his information comes from Marinos of Tyre, who lived about a half century earlier.
		Both Marinos and Ptolemy used still older sources now unknown except for a scholar named Eratosthenes, who had been chief librarian in Alexandria several centuries earlier.
