Bibliographic record
Abstract
This book offers a collection of fifteen articles dealing with the interactions among and intellectual transmission lines between the major figures of late antique Neoplatonism (most prominently Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, Ammonius, Proclus, and Damascius) as well as their individual and collective reception of pagan religious-philosophical texts such as the Hermetica, the Chaldaean Oracles, and Orphic texts.The volume is the outcome of a series of workshops held in 2013-15at the Villa Vigoni -German-Italian Centre for European Excellence, and most of the articles reflect additional research published up to 2016.It is intended as a sequel volume to the collection of articles edited by Helmut Seng in 2013 entitled Platonismus und Esoterik in byzantinischem Mittelalter und italienischer Renaissance.The intended audience for this book is clearly a specialist one: the range of languages needed to fully benefit from the contents is wide -five articles are in Italian, four in German, three in French, two in English and one in Spanish.Moreover, most of the articles feature either detailed philological and terminological analyses and/or extensive quotations from ancient Greek (always translated), such that readers having a familiarity with that language will gain more from this book than those who do not.Thematically, the most of the material lies at the intersection of philosophical concepts such as the relationships between levels of beings at the apex of the Neoplatonic hierarchy (the One, the Demiurge, etc.), and the polemical writings that the ancient authors directed at each other, at their predecessors, and at representatives of other schools of philosophical thought (principally Epicureanism, Aristotelianism, and Stoicism).Polemics also lie at the centre of the pathways of transmission of these pagan authors, most of whose work reaches our awareness via extensive quotations in the works of Christian authors such as Eusebius,

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
