In the modern era, specific passages of the \u003cem\u003eHypotyposis\u003c\/em\u003e have attracted the interest of historians of Greek astronomy and of scholars dealing with Neoplatonic cosmology, while the greatest part of it has been strikingly neglected. The present book offers a close reading of the entire \u003cem\u003eHypotyposis\u003c\/em\u003e and an overall interpretation of its aim and scope within the framework of Greek mathematical treatises and Proclus' works. It re-examines individual topics already touched upon in the secondary literature and sheds light on aspects of the treatise that have gone unnoticed. It includes the Greek text with an English translation, and a full-scale philosophical and mathematical commentary, framed by an introduction and a study of the astronomical diagrams and illustrations accompanying the text of Byzantine manuscripts. The book aspires to re-introduce the \u003cem\u003eHypotyposis\u003c\/em\u003e to the scholarly community, by lifting obstacles emerging from the technical character of the treatise and by revealing its hidden treasures. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Argyro Lithari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111512843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111512846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Argyro Lithari","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46670566097151,"sku":"9783111512846","price":176.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e761cd57-b4ea-4682-a337-be2c8c87ac99.jpg?v=1741316995","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/proclus-hypotyposis-astronomicarum-positionum-argyro-lithari-9783111512846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
