    Unas son las virtudes del político y otras las de quien se eleva mediante la contemplación, que, por esto, es llamado contemplativo. Unas son las de quien ya es un perfecto contemplativo y vive contemplando, y otras las del Intelecto puro separado del Alma. Las del político consisten en la moderación de las pasiones, es…

    XVI. PLOTINOS S POLEMIC AGAINST THE GNOSTICS. At that time there were many Christians, among whom were prominent sectarians who had given up the ancient philosophy (of Plato and Pythagoras), such as Adelphius and Aquilinus. They esteemed and possessed the greater part of the works of Alexander of Lybia, of Philocomus, of Demostrates and of…

    XVII. START OF THE AMELIO-PORPHYRIAN CON TROVERSY, OVER NUMENIUS. The Greeks insisted that Plotinos had appropriated the teachings of Numenius. Trypho, who was both a Stoic and a Platonist, insisted on this to Amelius, who wrote a book that we have entitled, “On the Differ ence Between the Teachings of Plotinos and Numen ius. ”…

    XVIII. POLEMIC BETWEEN AMELIUS AND POR PHYRY; AMELIUS TEACHES PORPHYRY. I have quoted this letter in full to show that, even in the times of Plotinos himself, it was claimed that Plotinos had borrowed and advertised as his own teach ings of Numenius; also that he was called a trifler, and in short that he…

    XIX. HOW THE WORKS OF PLOTINOS WERE PUT INTO SHAPE. You may judge of the high opinion of Plotinos held by Longinus, from a part of a letter he addressed to me. I was in Sicily; he wished me to visit him in Phoenicia, and desired me to bring him a copy of the works…

    XX. OPINION OF LONGINUS, THE GREAT CRITIC, ABOUT PLOTINOS. I have made this rather long quotation only to show what was thought of Plotinos by the greatest critic of our days, the man who had examined all the works of his time. At first Longinus had scorned Plotinos, be cause he had relied on the…

    XXI. RESULTS OF LONGINUS S CRITICISM AND VINDICATION OF PLOTINOS’S ORIGINALITY. From the above it will be seen that Plotinos and Amelius are superior to all their contemporaries by the great number of questions they consider, and by the originality of their system; that Plotinos had not ap propriated the opinions of Numenius, and that…

    XXII. THE APOLLONIAN ORACLE ABOUT PLOTINOS. (But when I have a long oracle of Apollo to quote, why should I delay over a letter of Longinus s, or, in the words of the proverb, quoted in Iliad xxii. 126 and Hesiod Theogony 35), “Why should I dally near the oak-trees, or the rock? ” If…

    XXIII. PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PLOTINOS; THE ECSTATIC TRANCES. This oracle (pieced out of numerous quotations) says (in some now lost lines, perhaps) that Plotinos was kindly, affable, indulgent, gentle, such as, indeed we knew him in personal intercourse. It also mentions that this philosopher slept little, that his soul was pure, ever aspiring to the…

    XV. PORPHYRY EARNED RECOGNITION AT THE SCHOOL OF PLOTINOS. At a celebration of Plato s birthday I was reading a poem about the “Mystic Marriage” (of the Soul) when somebody doubted my sanity, because it con tained both enthusiasm and mysticism. Plotinos spoke up, and said to me, loud enough to be heard by every…

    Traduções de comentários relativos às Enéadas. THEORY OF INTELLIGIBLES IN THE EDITIONS OF BOUILLET, CREUZER, AND HOLSTENIUS The order of Bouillet has been left, because the other orders differ anyway, and because this is the one that Porphyry introduced into the works of Plotinos. It must, therefore, have been of most significance to him.

    1. Plotinus, the philosopher our contemporary, seemed ashamed of being in the body. So deeply rooted was this feeling that he could never be induced to tell of his ancestry, his parentage, or his birthplace. He showed, too, an unconquerable reluctance to sit to a painter of a sculptor, and when Amelius persisted in urging…

    VII. VARIOUS DISCIPLES OF PLOTINOS. Plotinos had a great number of auditors and dis ciples, who were attracted to his courses by love of philosophy. Among this number was Amelius of Etruria, whose true name was Gentilianus. He did indeed insist that in his name the letter “l” should be replaced by “r,” so that…
