Synesius' essay De insomniis ('On Dreams') - written soon after 400
AD by a man who was not only a highly educated Greek intellectual
but also (in the last years of his life) a Christian bishop of the
city of Ptolemais (Cyrenaica) - inquires into the ways and means by
which a human being, while sleeping and dreaming, may make contact
with higher spheres, and it does so in the light of a clearly
recognizable Neo-Platonic concept of the soul and its salvation.
Synesius' thoughts are thus an important contribution of Later
Antiquity on topics - the place of man within the universe and his
means of communication with higher powers - that not only were of
high concern for his contemporaries, but still are today for
religiously- and philosophically-minded people. Besides
introduction and translation (with notes), several essays shed
light on the work from the perspective of various disciplines.
