Europeans rediscovered Ptolemy books in 1480s.

Explanation:

  • Ptolemy's writings are an Almagest, an astronomical textbook composed by Ptolemy around 150 CE (Claudius Ptolemaeus of Alexandria).
  • Until the beginning of the 17th century, it was the standard reference for Islamic and European astronomers.
  • Ptolemy's works (but not the maps) were found in the 1480s, and Europeans were astounded to learn of his precise location descriptions. They used them to create new maps.
