This is the first study to assess in its entirety the
fourth-century Latin commentary on Plato's Timaeus by the otherwise
unknown Calcidius, also addressing features of his Latin
translation. The first part examines the authorial voice of the
commentator and the overall purpose of the work; the second part
provides an overview of the key themes; and the third part
reassesses the commentary's relation to Stoicism, Aristotle,
potential sources, and the Christian tradition. This commentary was
one of the main channels through which the legacy of Plato and
Greek philosophy was passed on to the Christian Latin West. The
text, which also establishes a connection between Plato's cosmology
and Genesis, thus represents a distinctive cultural encounter
between the Greek and the Roman philosophical traditions, and
between non-Christian and Christian currents of thought.
