Oh, I know you can buy copies of the classics. I have many leftover from my college days. What I want is a copy that "looks" like the original... Not translated, not changed. Perhaps printed on vellum, but without the price. I would pay $40 for something like that...

I understood it, but I fear that for that price you'll find nothing that kind, sorry. :oops:
Have you given a look at the link regarding the modern Ptolemy's Almagest vision? :wink:

ANDREA, I wonder about the price for an italian translation of this book! Surely not 50.1 Euro but toward the 200! The arabic translations and corrections of which is said should be that of Jabir ibn Aflah of Seville:
