Reviews
'... an immensely learned compilation of studies of major (and some very minor) acts of appropriation or, to use Gersh's own word, of the 'assimilation' of Procline Platonism.' Lloyd Gerson, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'This collective effort succeeds in making the strongest possible case for the grand narrative of over one thousand years of Proclus's influence in the West and East; and many of the highlighted essays are significant contributions to the scholarly literature in their own fields.' Daniel O'Connell, Journal of the History of Philosophy
