520 |a This article is devoted to the cosmology of John Damascene. The relevant ideas from antique geocentric teachings in cosmology and natural philosophy are summarized and the proximity of Damascene’s views to these teachings is assessed.

The idea of that Ptolemaic cosmology has an influence on the cosmology of John Damascene is rejected.
