Rosetta Stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Rosetta Stone is stone three in a series of 3, a stone each for Ptolemy III, Ptolemy IV, and the Rosetta Stone, for Ptolemy V. Leap Year is implemented in Stone 1, the Stone of Canopus, for Ptolemy III. The Rosetta Project, a project whose aim is to produce Rosetta Stone-like discs in order to preserve dying languages. Rosetta Stone is also used as a metaphor to refer to anything that is a critical key to a process of decryption, translation, or a difficult problem, e.g., "the Rosetta stone of immunology", "thalamocortical rhythms, the Rosetta Stone of a subset of neurological disorders", "Arabidopsis, the Rosetta stone of flowering time". en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rosetta_stone   (1084 words)

Ptolemy Scholars in the 15th century recreated Ptolemy's map using the instructions in his work Geography, which explain how to project a sphere onto a flat piece of paper using a system of gridlines - longitude and latitude. Ptolemy's map consists of the world known to him; he does not speculate on the unknown, and as he worked in Alexandria the map is most detailed round the Mediterranean. Ptolemy (c.100-168) the Greek astronomer and the author of works on physics, mathematics, optics and geography, produced the data for creating a world map in about 150 AD. www.empereur.com /ptolemy.html   (148 words)

The Galileo Project Science Ptolemaic System Ptolemy's astronomy was taught as part of the undergraduate mathematical curriculum only and impinged only on technical questions of calendrics, positional predictions, and astrology. With such combinations of constructions, Ptolemy was able to account for the motions of heavenly bodies within the standards of observational accuracy of his day. Ptolemy used three basic constructions, the eccentric, the epicycle, and the equant. galileo.rice.edu /sci/theories/ptolemaic_system.html   (1629 words)

Ptolemy The main focus of the Ptolemy Project is on embedded systems (embedded software is software that resides in devices that are not first-and-foremost computers), particularly those that mix technologies including, for example, analog and digital electronics, hardware and software, and electronics and mechanical devices. Ptolemy II added a sophisticated type system where components can be designed to operate on multiple data types and an expression language. Ptolemy is open source but its BSD license allows commercial software to be created with it, therefore maximizing its impact. www.create.ucsb.edu /~xavier/Thesis/html/node54.html   (965 words)

The Ptolemy Project The Ptolemy Project provides access to contemporary, full-text medical information, both journals and texts, and a recently completed survey (to be presented at the upcoming ASEA meeting in Addis Ababa) shows that Ptolemy participants report it has made a strongly positively impact on their clinical practice, teaching and research activities. The Ptolemy Project appears already to be making a positive impact on the clinical, teaching and research work for the majority of participants. Each addresses different aspects of research capacity building: Ptolemy provides access for African surgeons to the on-line journal and text holdings of the U of T library, and the EASI-Delphi project will draw African surgeons into a foresight exercise aimed at establishing priorities for surgical development over the next ten years in East Africa. www.ptolemy.ca /research.htm   (940 words)

ptolemy.faq Recent enhancements of the Ptolemy project have been in the realms of dataflow modeling of algorithms, synthesis of embedded software from such dataflow models, animation and visualization, multidimensional signal processing, managing complexity by means of higher-order functions, hardware/software partitioning, and VHDL code generation. Ptolemy 0.7.2devel is the latest version of Ptolemy Classic, it is available for download if you send email to cxh@eecs.berkeley.edu Ptolemy 0.x is not under active development, which is good in that it means it is fairly stable. For example, using Ptolemy, a high-level dataflow model of a signal processing system can be connected to a hardware simulator that in turn may be connected to a discrete-event model of a communication network. ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu /~ptII/ptolemyclassic/ptolemy.faq   (2217 words)

Historic Maps in K-12 Classrooms - Map 1 - 6-8 Lesson Plan Have the students write a brief three-paragraph essay explaining how the inaccuracies in Ptolemy's calculations of longitudinal width of the Eurasian continent might have influenced Columbus' project to reach the east by sailing west.

A Framework for Distributed Modeling and Execution with Ptolemy II - Thomas Huining Feng The concern of this project is to develop the prototype of a framework, which enables distributed modeling and execution within Ptolemy II. Actors within Ptolemy are not allowed to establish connections without doing this via a gateway, which finally has the right to filter all sorts of dangerous connections and messages. On the one hand, one would like the gateway to provide a rich API to Ptolemy; on the otherhand, the design of the gateway must be concise so that even a user with 256M memory or less is willing to run it as an extra process in the background. www.eecs.berkeley.edu /~tfeng/ee290proposal.html   (1024 words)

The Septuagint - LXX The Septuagint project was undertaken for the gratification of Ptolemy Philadelphus, who wished to have a specimen of the Bible in the great Alexandrian library. Ptolemy sent to the High Priest in Jerusalem asking for six Hebrew scholars from each of the 12 tribes of Israel to be sent to Egypt to translate the scriptures.

Sketches in the History of Western Philosophy Seleucus left India to the growing power of the Mauryas, but was about to add Thrace to his kingdom when, stepping out of the boat in Europe, he was assassinated by Ptolemy Ceraunus, whom he had taken in as a refugee. In the strange political project of turning all Egyptians into Nubians, or even Nigerians, the Ptolemies pose a special challenge, since they weren't Egyptians at all but are nevertheless roped into the business because Cleopatra is too famous an Egyptian not to actually have been an Egyptian. Ptolemy is killed by invading Celts (279), which puts the Kingdom pretty much up for grabs. www.friesian.com /hist-1.htm   (12266 words)

Eratosthenes The library at Alexandria was planned by Ptolemy I Soter and the project came to fruition under his son Ptolemy II Philadelphus. Happy art thou, Ptolemy, in that, as a father the equal of his son in youthful vigour, thou hast thyself given him all that is dear to muses and Kings, and may be in the future, O Zeus, god of heaven, also receive the sceptre at thy hands. When Ptolemy III Euergetes succeeded his father in 245 BC and he persuaded Eratosthenes to go to Alexandria as the tutor of his son Philopator. www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk /~history/Mathematicians/Eratosthenes.html   (1503 words)

The Pharos Lighthouse (Lighthouse of Alexandria) The project was conceived and initiated by Ptolemy Soter around 290 BC, but was completed after his death, during the reign of his son Ptolemy Philadelphus. Shortly after the death of Alexander the Great, his commander Ptolemy Soter assumed power in Egypt. For centuries, the Lighthouse of Alexandria (occasionally referred to as the Pharos Lighthouse) was used to mark the harbor, using fire at night and reflecting sun rays during the day. www.fiddlersgreen.net /buildings/lighthouses/pharos/info/info.htm   (1401 words)

3-2Heads.htm Antiochus, when checked at last at Alexandria, left Ptolemy Philometor at Memphis as king, pretending that his whole object was to support Philometor's claims against the usurper Physcon. Antiochus pretended to ally himself with the young Ptolemy against his brother, Euergetes II, but each was trying to deceive the other. After 27 years Antiochus conquered the territory of Syria including Judea and penetrated to Dura (near Caesarea) where he gave Ptolemy a four-months truce; but he renewed the war after the truce and was 'stirred up again' even to Ptolemy's fortress, Raphia, a border-fortress of Egypt near Gaza, where he was defeated. home.earthlink.net /~mcasale/3-2Heads.htm   (1129 words)

Greek Scientists This process began with the translation of the Septuagint, the Old Testament, into Greek, for which project Ptolemy hired and housed 72 rabbis at Demetrius' suggestion. Demetrius must also have helped inspire the founding of a Museum in Ptolemy's capital, Alexandria, a temple dedicated to the Muses. This massive production was commissioned by the Athenian exile Demetrius of Phaleron under his patron, Ptolemy I, Ptolemy Soter.[4] Demetrius himself was a former ruler, no less than a ten-year tyrant of Athens, and a first-generation Peripatetic scholar. www.sv.vccs.edu /acad/classes/his101a6/greek_scientists.htm   (1129 words)

History1 28-34: Aristeas quotes from the letter sent by Demetrius to Ptolemy II in which the former suggests that a letter be to the Jewish High Priest, Eleazar, requesting that he send six translators from each of the twelve tribes (seventy-two in all) be sent to Egypt for this project. Although the Letter of Aristeas purports to be the reminiscences of a certain Aristeas, an official in the court of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285-46 BCE), it is generally held that he is a literary fiction (hence the usual appellation Pseudo-Aristeas). The terminus a quo of Letter of Aristeas is the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelpheus (He is identified as such by a reference to his father, Ptolemy I Soter [Lagid, who abdicated in 285 BCE and died in 283 BCE] [13]). www.abu.nb.ca /Courses/NTIntro/InTest/Hist1.htm   (7709 words)

The Library in Alexandria and the Bible in Greek The work was organised by Demetrius of Phalerum, the trusted librarian of Ptolemy II, and the translation was made despite Jewish opposition and the project's high cost. The date of the translation, early in the reign of Ptolemy II, shows that the library was built by Ptolemy Lagus, and that Demetrius of Phalerum was first placed in charge. Ptolemy wanted the translation to increase his famous library, to attract scholars to Alexandria and to start his reign with an impressive event. www.brill.nl /product.asp?ID=9327   (7709 words)

Tetrabiblos Tetrabiblos, Claudius Ptolemy, Book IV, trans., Robert H.Schmidt, Project Hindsight, Greek Track Vol. Tetrabiblos was given by Robert Hand in his introduction to the Project Hindsight translation of Book II in 1996: ‘this is the first translation ever done relying upon ancient commentators and other ancient authors for corroboration and clarification of the more difficult parts of the text. Too often translations have been done by persons who believed that they knew what Ptolemy had said, and who believed that it was simply a matter of translating the text “correctly”, i.e., in accordance with their previously conceived points of view’ (p. www.cultureandcosmos.com /books_noticed/tetrabiblos.htm   (633 words)
