Note
"These two volumes collect the work of twenty-two scholars from ten different countries presented in a seminar, 'Rethinking Plato's Parmenides and its Platonic, Gnostic and Patristic Reception,' that was held during six annual meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature from 2001 to 2006 and that has broken new ground on several fronts in the history of interpretation of Plato's Parmenides."--Introd

Description and Table of Contents
Description
Volume 2 examines and establishes for the first time evidence for a significant knowledge of the Parmenides in Philo, Clement, and patristic sources. It offers an extensive and balanced analysis of the case for and against the various possible attributions of date and authorship of the Anonymous Commentary in relation to Gnosticism, Middle Platonism, and Neoplatonism and argues that on balance the case for a pre-Plotinian authorship is warranted.
