Proclus' commentary on Plato's dialogue Timaeus 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 offers the first new English translation of the work for
nearly two centuries, building on significant recent advances in
scholarship on Neoplatonic commentators. It provides 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 present volume, the fifth in the edition,
presents Proclus' commentary on the Timaeus, dealing with Proclus'
account of static and flowing time; we see Proclus situating
Plato's account of the motions of the stars and planets in relation
to the astronomical theories of his day. The volume includes a
substantial introduction, as well as notes that will shed new light
on the text.
