It is generally supposed that those
who combated the opinion that the
earth was a sphere when Columbus
proposed his great voyage were only
giving expressions to opinions that
had always been entertained. But the
fact is that long before the Christian
era the Greek and Egyptian philoso-
pliers entertained the idea that the
earth was round and knew vastly
more about eclipses. the motions of
