1583 GREEK Hierocles of Alexandria
Golden Verses Pythagoras Marcilius Philosophy
Hierocles of Alexandria was a 5th-century
Greek writer. The only surviving work of Hierocles, who studied under Plutarch,
was his commentary on Golden Verses of Pythagoras. It included a treatise on
providence and fate and his arguments against predestination, magic practices,
and superstitions. However, his views did not favor the providence of a divine
God, rather focused on irrational worldly needs. Although Christianity was not
mentioned in his works, his writings have been used to reconcile traditions
between Greek orthodox and Christian beliefs. (Mozley).
This 1583 edition was collected and edited
by Joannes Curterius and features both Latin and Greek texts in parallel with
title in Greek transliteration. Curiously, this volume consists of Theodor
Marcilius’s edition of Pythagoras as well, published in 1585 in Paris (with the
Roman name of Lutetia on the title page).
