Researches on Ptolemy’s Geography of Eastern Asia (A Further India and Indo-Malay Archipelago) | with 2 expandable maps and 11 expandable tables

Gerini’s Researches on Ptolemy’s Geography of Eastern India remains an important contribution to the study of ancient geography, especially in terms of its treatment of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. While some of Gerini’s conclusions have been updated with more recent scholarship and technology, his work continues to be influential for historians of ancient cartography, Indian history, and Southeast Asian studies. His analysis of the geography of Ptolemy’s Geographia laid the groundwork for later studies of ancient trade routes, maritime history, and the cultural exchanges that took place in the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia. The intersections between Greek and Indian geography, as well as the interaction between ancient knowledge systems and local traditions, have remained key topics in the study of the region’s historical geography.
