Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 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.
