Marinus of Tyre
Marinus of Tyre (, ''Marînos o Týrios''; 70–130) was a Greek or Hellenized geographer, cartographer and mathematician, who founded mathematical geography and provided the underpinnings of Claudius Ptolemy's influential ''Geography''.
==Life==
Marinus was originally from Tyre in the Roman province of Syria.〔George Sarton (1936). "The Unity and Diversity of the Mediterranean World", ''Osiris'' 2, p. 406-463 ().〕 He and his work were a precursor to that of the great geographer Claudius Ptolemy, who used Marinus's work as a source for his ''Geography'' and acknowledges his great obligations to him. Ptolemy said, "Marinus says of the merchant class generally that they are only intent on their business, and have little interest in exploration, and that often through their love of boasting they magnify distances."〔(Ptolemy, "33" ).〕 Later, Marinos was also cited by the Arab geographer al-Masʿūdī. Beyond this, little is known of his life.
