The Cambridge History of Philosophy in Late Antiquity comprises over forty specially commissioned essays by experts on the philosophy of the period 200–800 CE. Designed as a successor to The Cambridge History of Later Greek and Early Medieval Philosophy (edited by A. H. Armstrong), it takes into account some forty years of scholarship since the publication of that volume. The contributors examine philosophy as it entered literature, science and religion, and offer new and extensive assessments of philosophers who until recently have been mostly ignored. The volume also includes a complete digest of all philosophical works known to have been written during this period. It will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in this rich and still emerging field. [author's abstract]

The text explores the life of Priscian of Lydia, a little-known philosopher from the late fifth century CE, who accompanied Damascius on a journey to the Sassanian king Chosroes I. Priscian's work "Solutiones ad Chosroem," translated into Latin, addresses various topics in natural history and meteorology. The text delves into questions about the nature of the human soul, the phenomenon of sleep, the connection between vision and dreams, the causes of seasons and climatic zones, the application of drugs with contrary effects, the influence of lunar phases on tides, the properties of air and fire, the diversity of species in different environments, and the purpose of venomous snakes in the world. Priscian's work exhibits a wide range of knowledge from various ancient sources, and it seemingly reinforces Platonic metaphysics through its analysis of physical phenomena. Despite being relatively obscure, the "Solutiones" has been known to some medieval scholars and copied in later centuries. [author’s abstract]

The text discusses the life and works of Simplicius of Cilicia, a philosopher from the 6th century CE. Little is known about his life, but he received education from prominent figures such as Ammonius in Alexandria and Damascius in Athens. Simplicius' philosophical outlook was influenced by Porphyry, Iamblichus, and Proclus. The expulsion of Platonists from Athens in 532 CE halted school activities, and Simplicius' life span is estimated to be around 480-560 CE. The abstract mentions the debates about where Simplicius went after his trip to Persia, with some suggesting Harran in Syria as a possible safe haven. The works attributed to Simplicius include commentaries on Aristotle's Categories, Physics, and On the Heavens, and possibly Metaphysics (lost) and De Anima. He also wrote a commentary on Epictetus' Handbook and a summary version of Theophrastus' Physics. Simplicius' importance as a source for ancient Greek philosophy and science has sometimes overshadowed his contributions as an independent thinker. The methodology of Simplicius' vast output is discussed, highlighting his role in transmitting Greek philosophy and science. While he is known for using quotations to substantiate and clarify his work, he is not merely seen as a conduit of earlier thinkers. The text emphasizes the need to view Simplicius as an independent thinker and not just a commentator. The neglectful view of Simplicius in the past is attributed to a focus on fragment-hunting and the recovery of early Greek philosophy. [introduction]
