As far as I can tell, NOTHING is known of the *life* of Claudius Ptolemy
other than the fact that he made astronomical observations from Alexandria
during the +2nd century, and that he recorded his observations and
scientific insights.
You may be interested in checking St Andrews webpage at:
http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/Mathematicians/Ptolemy.html
where 62 scholarly books/articles on Ptolemy's works are mentioned.
With best regards,
