Proclus' commentary on the dialogue Timaeus by Plato (d.347 BC),
written in the fifth century AD, is arguably the most important
commentary on a text of Plato, offering unparalleled insights into
eight centuries of Platonic interpretation. It has had an enormous
influence on subsequent Plato scholarship. This edition
nevertheless offers the first new translation of the work for
nearly two centuries, building on significant recent advances in
scholarship by Neoplatonic commentators. It will provide an
invaluable record of early interpretations of Plato's dialogue,
while also presenting Proclus' own views on the meaning and
significance of Platonic philosophy. The book presents Proclus'
unrepentant account of a multitude of divinities involved with the
creation of mortal life, the supreme creator's delegation to them
of the creation of human life, and the manner in which they took
the immortal life principle from him and wove it together with our
mortal parts to produce human beings.
