'We have been waiting a long time for a full study of this important witness to the Platonist tradition, and Prof. Reydams-Schils has made the wait worth while. Her work resurrects Calcidius as an intelligent guide through the complex layers of philosophical debate that his commentary was meant to negotiate, and brings a new breadth of understanding to fourth-century philosophy.' George Boys-Stones, Professor of Classics and Philosophy, University of Toronto

'Gretchen Reydams-Schils provides a superb and comprehensive study on Calcidius' translation and commentary on Plato's Timaeus with many innovative analyses and well-balanced insights, written in a clear attitude and elegant style. This book is an important contribution to late antique Platonism, an impressive masterpiece.' Irmgard Männlein-Robert, Professor of Greek Philology, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen

'Reydams-Schils' analysis is brilliantly structured and thoroughly compelling, and demonstrates the remarkable originality and subtlety of Calcidius' commentary.' John Magee, Professor of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, University of Toronto
