The Question ==>  What famous Alexandrian was responsible for the most popular map printed from movable type in the fifteenth century?

Answer: What famous Alexandrian was responsible for the most popular map printed from movable type in the fifteenth century?

The correct answer to “What famous Alexandrian was responsible for the most popular map printed from movable type in the fifteenth century?” is: Ptolemy.

Ptolemy lived in the city of Alexandria in the Roman province of Egypt under Roman rule, had a Latin name (which several historians have taken to imply he was also a Roman citizen), cited Greek philosophers, and used Babylonian observations and Babylonian lunar theory. The 14th-century astronomer Theodore Meliteniotes gave his birthplace as the prominent Greek city Ptolemais Hermiou in the Thebaid . This attestation is quite late, however, and there is no evidence to support it. He died in Alexandria around 168.
