[ SOLD OUT ] PROCLUS, The Elements of Theology. A Revised Text with Translation, Introduction, and Commentary by E.R. Dodds. Clarendon Press, 1977. Reprint 2nd edition 1963. XLVIII,348p. Hardbound. Spine gilt titled. Signature and date on free endpaper. Pages a bit yellowed, due to paper quality. ‘Proclus’s Elements of Theology cannot be styled a readable book, but Professor Dodd’s edition of it is eminently such. What Proclus says of ‘Every God’ (prop. 13) might be applied to it: ‘That which fulfils others and extends to others its free bestowals must itself be more than full … filled to overflowing.’ For it does make Proclus himself deeply readable, finds him a necessary place in the progress of philosophy, and extends his very interesting relations with earlier, later, and wide-ranging thought.’ (A. NAIRNE in The Journal of Theological Studies, 1936, p.184). (Antiquarian) (approx. delivery time: undeliverable) ISBN: 9780198141600
