The Commentary on Plato's Parmenides by Proclus (AD 412-85) is the
most important extant document on the interpretation of this
enigmatic dialogue in antiquity, and has had a crucial influence on
all subsequent readings. In Proclus' Commentary, the Parmenides
provides the argumentative and conceptual framework for a
scientific theology wherein all mythological discourse about the
gods can be integrated. Its exposition was therefore the
culmination of the curriculum of the Platonic school. This
theological reading of the Parmenides persisted, through the medium
of Ficino, until the nineteenth century. Previously this important
text was only accessible in the edition of V. Cousin (Paris, 1864).
This new critical edition is based on an exhaustive study of both
the Greek tradition and the medieval Latin translation.
