In his article\, Stefan shows that upon translating Ptolemy's »Almages t« from Arabic into Latin in the second half of the twelfth century\, Gera rd of Cremona intervened into the mathematical structure of the »Almagest« and adjusted the tables of mathematical astronomy according to the textua l elements. The article offers a novel approach to the history of astronom y by focusing on analog practices instead of their modern mathematical rep resentations.
