Reviews
'The volume has a clear and comprehensive stage-setting introduction by the editors and a full biography. There is hardly a sentence in the Enneads that is not rooted in the history of philosophy as Plotinus knew it. This book s a valuable addition to the scholarship seeking to illuminate this background.' Lloyd P. Gerson, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
