| Riepilogo: | Later Platonists and their Heirs among Christians, Jews and Muslims offers a thought-provoking exploration of the reception of Platonism among communities of faith from early Christianity to the sixteenth century, from the Byzantine East to the Latin West.

The volume seeks to establish paths of transmission and modes of adaptation across times and places |
