Nevertheless, four essays reveal his study of Enneads 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 3.7, 5.8 and 5.9. Generally, he indicates his disagreement with the ancient philosopher except on the question of time. From the context it appears that the period of such research was ca 1055-1075 and may have been prompted by a friend such as Xiphilinos. |
