| abstract | - King Ptolemy was the first king of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Ptolemy was responsible for Serapis' rise to power.
- Ptolemy (138 BC–124 BC) was the most notable of Bartimaeus' old masters, being both fair and kind. He wanted peace between demons and magicians, rather then the slavery that existed between the two factions. To prove his loyalty, and his trust towards Bartimaeus, he created the Gate of Ptolemy which allowed him to visit Bartimaeus in the Other Place for once putting the power in a demon's hands. However, his trip to the Other Place weakened him giving his cousin, the heir to the Egyptian throne, room to manuever and kill him. His cousin thought, due to his popularity among the people and the power at which he controlled his demons, he was going to try and take over the throne. Ptolemy was killed by his assassins at the young age of 14. But despite his inevitable death he freed Bartimaeus, who at the time was under his command, even though he would have stood and fought to the death for Ptolemy. Thus he gave Bartimaeus one more precious gift, among numerous others, before he met his demise. Compared to most magicians Ptolemy had very little ambition, and would prefer to talk to demons than make them do his bidding (although his bidding was mostly answering questions), and there is no reference of him using any of the typical demon punishments. Because of this, he earned their respect and loyalty as well as their trust, giving Ptolemy a unique bond between his demons that no other magician before or since has shared between his slaves. This bond stretched so far that Ptolemy's only surviving demon, Bartimaeus, out of respect still wears his guise to this day. Ptolemy's method for creating the Gate of Ptolemy was recorded in his Apocrypha, published after his death, but most magicians regarded it as a speculative fantasy.
- Ptolemy was the author of several scientific treatises, three of which would be of continuing importance to later Islamic and European science. The first is the astronomical treatise now known as the Almagest (in Greek, Η Μεγάλη Σύνταξις, "The Great Treatise", originally Μαθηματικἠ Σύνταξις, "Mathematical Treatise"). The second is the Geography, which is a thorough discussion of the geographic knowledge of the ancient Mediterranean. The third is the astrological treatise known as the Tetrabiblos ("Four books") in which he attempted to adapt horoscopic astrology to the Aristotelian natural philosophy of his day.

In 17th century, when Galileo Galilei advocated the Copernican view that the Sun was the center of the solar system, the Church accused him of heresy.
