skeletonleaves | 1 comments The publisher Prometheus Trust has published new editions of a 2-volume work: Thomas Taylor's Translation of Proclus' Commentaries on Plato's Parmenides. I am listing both volumes separately below.

FIRST VOLUME
* Title: Proclus' Commentary on the Timaeus of Plato, Volume I
* Author(s) name(s): Proclus, Thomas Taylor (translator)
* ISBN: 978-18989107-589
* Publisher: The Prometheus Trust
* Publication Date Year: 2023
* Publication Date Month: May
* Publication Date Day: 12
* Page count: 530
* Format: paperback
* Description: The Commentary of Proclus on the Timaeus of Plato in two volumes. With page and line numbers added from Diehl’s 1906 edition, with Taylor’s extensive footnotes and references, together with over 1500 extra references added by the Prometheus Trust. This is the largest late Platonic Commentary to have survived: it is, as Taylor described it in his original edition, “a treasury of Pythagoric and Platonic physiology” and the work which Proclus himself thought the most important of all his writings. The first volume includes books 1, 2 and the first half of book 3. A revised 2nd edition.
