Claudius Ptolemy (ca.100-170 n. Chr.) Is attributed to an optical system, which is considered the peak of ancient science. It is interpreted controversially, its authenticity is disputed, its reception hardly occupied. The work gets here first a story that historical criticism is based on the sources, his most part still unknown content knowledge and cultural history arranges and respect to tradition and authenticity into account the phenomenon of textual transformation. Only a Latin translation from the Arabic manuscripts in the 14th-16th Century has been preserved. A source of the 2nd century this text is limited to cases where no subsequent findings found in input. Which story is to write it, depends on the sources that provide a context for creation and reception of the work. Speak for an origin in the 2nd century, they provide evidence of knowledge and use of, or are evidence of its origin or transformation in later centuries? Depending on which is able to convince these scenarios, our picture of the history of ancient science or of the share, the Late Antiquity and Byzantium changes in it.
