Cosmas Indicopleustes

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Â© The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church 2000, originally published by Oxford University Press 2000. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Cosmas Indicopleustes (i.e. ‘Cosmas, the Indian navigator’, mid-6th cent.). He was a merchant of Alexandria, who may have become a monk. His ‘Christian Topography’ (c.547) attacks the Ptolemaic system in favour of various astronomical doctrines intended to harmonize with a literal understanding of the Bible; its chief value lies in its geographical information, especially on Sri Lanka, and its witness to the spread of Christianity.
