Proclus and the Chaldean Oracles
Author: Nicola Spanu
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000166376
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
This volume examines the discussion of the Chaldean Oracles in the work of Proclus, as well as offering a translation and commentary of Proclus’ Treatise On Chaldean Philosophy. Spanu assesses whether Proclus’ exegesis of the Chaldean Oracles can be used by modern research to better clarify the content of Chaldean doctrine or must instead be abandoned because it represents a substantial misinterpretation of originary Chaldean teachings. The volume is augmented by Proclus’ Greek text, with English translation and commentary. Proclus and the Chaldean Oracles will be of interest to researchers working on Neoplatonism, Proclus and theurgy in the ancient world.

Pages : 770
Book Description
En 1956 était publié, à l'Institut d'Archéologie orientale du Caire, un ouvrage important de Hans Lewy sur les Oracles chaldaïques, "Chaldaean oracles and theurgy". Cette étude, vite épuisée, fut l'objet, en 1978, d'une nouvelle édition dans la Collection des Études augustiniennes, due à Michel Tardieu, qui accompagnait le texte de H. Lewy d'une série de douze compléments, parmi lesquels une contribution de E. R. Dodds, et une autre de P. Hadot. Cet ouvrage, qui reste fondamental pour la connaissance des Oracles chaldaïques et de toute la philosophie ancienne, était épuisé depuis longtemps, et Michel Tardieu en propose aujourd∎hui une troisième édition: à côté de menues corrections, cette nouvelle édition comporte un treizième complément, "Les Oracles chaldaïques 1891-2011", qui offre une synthèse de 120 ans de recherches, depuis les travaux de Jahn, en 1891, jusqu'à nos jours, et une bibliographie répartie en cinq sections, qui dépouille l'ensemble de la production sur le sujet.

Collection of the Chaldean Oracles
Author: Thomas Taylor
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781516843787
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
These Chaldean Oracles were originally collected by Thomas Taylor and published as: "Collection of the Chaldean Oracles," in The Monthly Magazine and British Register, vol. III., 1797. They were later republished in Taylor's "Collectanea; or Collections consisting of Miscellanies inserted in the European and Monthly Magazines," 1806, and again with the addition of "Part IV," as: "Collection of the Chaldean Oracles," in the Classical Journal, December, 1817; March & June, 1818. These have now been reprinted, with adjustments in formatting and the addition of an Appendix containing the Oracles given in a new sequence. In the present volume, the formatting of the original has been changed in order to render the text more easily readable. The footnotes found in the originals have been collected and placed in order at the end of the Oracles, allowing for a more easily readable layout. Besides this change, and minor changes in formatting style, the text has not been altered, except in cases where certain Greek characters were in need of modernization. "These remains of Chaldean theology are not only venerable for their antiquity, but inestimably valuable for the unequalled sublimity of the doctrines they contain. They will, doubtless, too, be held in the highest estimation by every liberal mind, when it is considered that some of them are the sources whence the sublime conceptions of Plato flowed ... It is clear that the following oracles, which are collected from the writings of the Platonists, are of Chaldean origin [and] it is likewise evident, that some of these oracles may, with great confidence, be ascribed to the Chaldean Zoroaster. Short notes are added, by way of comment, on the most obscure of these oracles, and the exposition of Psellus is prefixed as containing the best account of the Chaldaic dogmas that can, at present, be obtained."-Thomas Taylor, from the Introduction.

Book Description
Neoplatonic Demons and Angels is a collection of eleven studies which examine, in chronological order, the place reserved for angels and demons not only by the main Neoplatonic philosophers (Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, and Proclus), but also in Gnosticism, the Chaldaean Oracles, Christian Neoplatonism, especially by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. This volume originates from a panel held at the 2014 ISNS meeting in Lisbon, but is supplemented by a number of invited papers.

Ten Gifts of the Demiurge
Author: Emilie Kutash
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1472519817
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Proclus' commentary on Plato's "Timaeus" is perhaps the most important surviving Neoplatonic commentary. In it Proclus contemplates nature's mysterious origins and at the same time employs the deductive rigour required to address perennial philosophical questions. Nature, for him, is both divine and mathematically transparent. He renders theories of Time, Eternity, Providence, Evil, Soul and Intellect and constructs an elaborate ontology that includes mathematics and astronomy. He gives ample play to pagan theology too, frequently lapsing into the arcane language of the "Chaldaean Oracles". "Ten Gifts of the Demiurge" is an essential companion to this rich but complex and densely wrought text, providing an analysis of its arguments and showing that it, like the cosmos Proclus reveres, is a living coherent whole. The book provides aides to understanding Proclus' work within the complex background of Neoplatonic philosophy, familiarising the reader with the political context of the Athenian school, analysing Proclus' key terminology, and giving background to the philosophical arguments and ancient sciences upon which Proclus draws.Above all, it helps the reader appreciate the varicoloured light that Proclus sheds on the secrets of nature.
