What it is about
Iamblichus' Protrepticus, in the original GREEK.
Context and history
An exhortation to philosophy, and at the same time a quarry: Iamblichus copies lost authors at length, and the chapter reproducing Aristotle's own Protrepticus is the main route to reconstructing that vanished work. **Text in the original language.**
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
