| Résumé: | 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. My conclusion is that the cosmology presented in Damascene is the result of combining elements of Platonic, Aristotelian and Stoic teachings, with the Aristotelian elements tending to prevail. The idea of that Ptolemaic cosmology has an influence on the cosmology of John Damascene is rejected.
