The impact of the Elements of Theology and the Book of Causes is reconsidered on the basis of newly discovered manuscripts and evidences. This second volume revises widely accepted hypotheses about the reception of the Proclus’ text in Byzantium and the Caucasus, and about the context that made possible the composition of the Book of Causes and its translations into Latin and Hebrew. The contributions offer a unique, comparative perspective on the various ways a pagan author was acculturated to the Abrahamic traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Notes on the Translations and Acculturations   Dragos Calma    Part 1 Byzantium    2 An Orthodox and Byzantine Reception of the Elements of Theology   Frederick Lauritzen    3 Universals, Wholes, Logoi: Eustratios of Nicaea’s Response to Proclus’ Elements of Theology   Stephen Gersh    4 ‘A Mixing Cup of Piety and Learnedness’: Michael Psellos and Nicholas of Methone as Readers of Proclus’ Elements of Theology   Joshua M.
