Written in Greek by one 'Saloustios the philosopher', this treatise dates from the age of Julian the Apostate (361-363 CE) and forms a little popular handbook of Neoplatonism, notable for its allegorical interpretation of myths. Nock's 'magisterial' 1926 edition provides the Greek text and English translation, with extensive prolegomena covering the intellectual background, the work's content, sources, authorship and style and the manuscript transmission of the text. Facsimile reprint. No jacket.
