1. History of Science. In the medieval form of the Ptolemaic system: designating a sphere held to exist beyond the sphere of fixed stars, usually accounted the ninth sphere and located between the fixed stars and the primum mobile, but sometimes regarded as two in number. In later use also: each of the spheres in this system; = sphere n. 2a; (chiefly historical in retrospective use). Chiefly in crystalline heaven (also sphere, circle).The nature of the sphere varied with different writers. Some held it to have an icy solidity or to consist of crystalline stone; others held it to be not hard but transparent, luminous, or immutable.For the possibility that the idea of a crystalline sphere derives from Genesis 1:7 (‘God made the firmament; and diuided the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters, which were aboue the firmament’ (King James Bible)), see E. Grant Planets, Stars, & Orbs (1994) xiii. 320–3 and xiv. 332–4.
