==Description==

The ''Ptolemy machine'' is the attempt to publish a digital ''Geography'' so that, as Ptolemy intended, it can serve as a “map-making kit”. This digital map-making kit of Ptolemy therefore should derive both a readable text and a usable geographic database from a single source.

About the current status of the project, taken from the project page and by the Author's words (Accessed 2017-09-05):

It is impossible to access the initial TEI-compliant text of Ptolemy’s ''Geography'' in the Canonical Text Service, because the link is dead (2017-09-05).
