Platonism in Late Antiquityby Stephen Gersh (Editor), Charles Kannengiesser (Editor), 1992&#160;This collection of essays brings together the work of leading North American and European classics and patristic scholars. By emphasizing the common Platonic heritage of pagan philosophy and Christian theology, it reveals the range and continuity of the Platonic tradition in late antiquity. Some of the papers treat specific authors, and others the evolution of particular doctrines. The topics covered range chronologically from Plutarch of Chaeronea (first-second century AD) to pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (fifth-sixth century AD), and all the major figures in late ancient Greek thought, including Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus and Proclus are discussed. Becayse late antique Platonism is increasingly recognized as a subject that lends itself to interdisciplinary study, this volume, although intended primarily for scholars of Neoplatonism, should also be of interest to students of classics, theology (especially patristics) and late ancient history.(Text by the editors)&#160;Contents&#160;Édouard des PlacesBilbiography 1980-1989ContributorsIntroduction and Short Bibliography of Secondary Material – Stephen GershThe Language of Excellence in Plato’s Timaeus and Later Platonism – David T.
