Its main claim is that the hymns should be understood in the context of theurgy, the ritual art adopted by the Neoplatonists in order to obtain mystical experiences.\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book consists of a series of essays which discuss the relation of the hymns to Proclus' Neoplatonism, his theory of poetry, and especially to theurgy. The second part offers translations of the individual hymns together with a detailed commentary.\u003cbr\u003eThis study will be of special interest to those working in the field of Neoplatonism and a helpful guide to scholars of Late Antique poetry and religion who wish to explore these intriguing, yet at times obscure poems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robbert Maarten Van Den Berg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004122362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004122369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.56w x 1.09d","brand":"Robbert Maarten Van Den Berg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48871400145151,"sku":"9789004122369","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/proclus-hymns-robbert-maarten-van-den-berg-9789004122369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
