Recenzii

'the four volumes of the Camridge translation of Proclus' commentary on the Timaeus are undoubtedly a major contribution to scholarship on Proclus. They are a wonderful compliment to the expanding scholarly literature on the philosophy of nature and cosmology in Neoplatonism, which enjoys in recent year a renewed scholarly interest.'
