«'The volume represents a collection of twenty-five articles by Andrew Smith on the three Neoplatonic philosophers mentioned in the title. Most articles, with the exception of no. XIX (Religion, magic and theurgy in Porphyry) are reprints. This is one major contribution of the collection: to assemble into one volume various pieces of great importance to scholars of Neoplatonism, thus facilitating access to the work of a key scholarly figure in the field... Assembling the isolated articles into a volume not only produces a helpful scholarly tool, but enables the readers to see some threads of thought in Plotinus or Porphyry which might otherwise not be so apparent.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'Analyzing the complex thought of these three ancient authors requires careful scholarship, which Smith is uniquely qualified to offer. Even so, suggesting the purchase of such a collection requires a defense in our increasingly digital age. However, not every library has electronic access to every lesser known journal, and certainly not to chapters in edited volumes. Even researchers with privileges at a world-class research library will appreciate having such distilled riches at their fingertips in one volume.' Religious Studies Review»
