AGATHODAEMON

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 371 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AGATHODAEMON , of
Alexandria
 , map designer, probably lived in the 2nd
century
  A.D. Some MSS. of the Geography of
Ptolemy
  contain twenty-seven maps, which are stated to have been
drawn
  by Agathodaemon of
Alexandria
 , who " delineated the whole world according to the eight books of
Ptolemy
 's geography." As Ptolemy speaks of Ilivatces to accompany his treatise, these maps were probably the
work
  of a contemporary acting under his instructions. About 1470 Nicolaus Doris, a
Benedictine
 
monk
 , brought out a revised edition of them, the names being inserted in Latin instead of Greek.
See Bunbury, History of Ancient Geography, ii.
