Research literature: ptolemy degree

On this page, you will find a collection of links to scientific publications that are relevant to this project or that can contribute to a deeper exemplary understanding of the processes and circumstances that may be related to the Reinterpretation of Germania Magna presented here. These publications span different research areas.

The collection includes:

• Primary literature: Scientific publications presenting the results of new research.
• Secondary literature: Scientific publications summarizing, analyzing, or interpreting primary literature.
• Comparative literature: Publications that exemplify similar processes and circumstances in other contexts.
• Additional resources: Links to websites, databases, and other resources that may be relevant to the reinterpretation

The following publications are intended to help answer specific questions exemplarily, which may be related to the necessary processes and events required for extensive landscape transformation. These include considerations of tectonic fracture events and rift systems, with corresponding effects on maritime landslide events and the formation of new sedimentation basins.

27.04.2025 – On Determining the Length of a Ptolemaic Degree – Supplement to the Reinterpretation of Germania Magna (doi: 10.31223/X5313T) The realignment of the Germania Magna map according to this interpretation results in a new value for the length of a Ptolemaic degree. The following explanation is intended to make the calculation steps leading to this value easier to understand. For the derivation, we first consider the two rivers that border Germania Magna to the east and west, for which Ptolemy recorded the coordinates of their estuaries into the Oceanus Germanicus.
