Abstract:
This work is a collection of the fragments of Syrianus the Platonist, head of
the Athenian school of Platonism from 432-437, on Plato's Timaeus and Parmenides.
It includes a collection, translation, and commentary of a selection of 41 fragments
relating to Syrianus' teaching on the Timaeus and Parmenides', these fragments,
moreover, are illustrative of Syrianus' metaphysics- from them, we can derive an
understanding of Syrianus' teaching, and where Proclus, his most famed pupil,
adheres to the teaching and where he innovates.
