There is a scholarly consensus on the crucial role played by the
philosophers of late Antiquity, especially the dominant figure of
Plotinus, in reshaping the thought of Plato and Aristotle. It is
also well-established that the rise of the Arabic philosophy was
fostered by the movement of the Graeco-Arabic transmission.
However, the development of coherent theories describing the role
of late ancient philosophical thought in the creation of Arabic
philosophy has been hampered by poor interaction between the
various disciplines involved. "The Libraries of the Neoplatonists,"
with its twin focus on the textual transmission within the schools
of late Antiquity and on the dissemination of philosophical
writings in the Syriac-speaking and Arabic-speaking areas, provides
a magisterial survey of the Neoplatonic transmission of the Greek
heritage to later ages and various linguistic areas.
