Extractions: In considering the astronomical elements in ancients works it seemed advisable to examine the origins of later scientific advances associated in one way or another with these earlier sources. This was especially so with respect to the contributions made by both Galileo and Kepler in light of their acknowledged use of materials provided in Plato's . But this was only one facet of a much wider investigation. Another concerned technical details long-buried in the Babylonian astronomical cuneiform texts of the Seleucid Era [310 BC - 75 A.D.] - information that only surfaced during the latter part of the previous century and has yet to see the light of day even now. Irrespective of how much or how little this neglected corpus of technical knowledge is regarded, there still remains the leading question why Babylonian astronomy was so obviously concerned with synodic motion and varying orbital velocity . It was this question that generated sufficient interest in astronomy and mathematics to apply the general synodic relationship in Parts I and II of the present work. As shown in these earlier sections, this was the vital step that provided the necessary understanding to the "Golden Section" and the

Extractions: Neoplatonist philosopher, mathematician and astronomer, Proclus was born in Constantinople and reared in Xanthus, in Lycia. After an early education in Xanthus and Alexandria, under Orion Leonas, Hero (mathematics) and Heliodorus (Aristotelian philosophy), he went to Athens. There he studied with Plutarch of Athens and his disciple Syrianus (Platonic philosophy), eventually succeeding the latter as the head of the Academy. He was influenced by the philosophy of the Pythagoreans, and in turn influenced many Western philosophers: Hegel, for example, admired him greatly. He died in Athens in 485. One of the craters on the moon has been named "Proclus" in his honour.

Extractions: PROCLUS was one of the most acccomplished, if not the most accomplished preacher in the post-Chrysostom era in Constantinople, achieving a high level of popularity. Whether we as modern readers can fully appreciate the rhetorically-orientated nature of his preaching or not, the style and contents of his homilies are both impressive and of theological importance respectively. In particular, his homilies are a valuable source for the christological issues of the time, and formed an important basis for the subsequent formulation of the orthodox faith at Chalcedon in 451. Sadly, and in all probability due to Proclus' role as conciliator rather than active participant in the dogmatic disputes of his time, his work has not received the same attention as that of the more prominent players, such as Cyril of Alexandria. In a translation that conveys the highly rhetorical flavour of the original, Jan H. Barkhuizen makes accessible for the first time in English a substantial portion of the corpus, namely the twenty-seven homilies which deal with aspects of the life of Christ. This translation will go a long way towards creating a greater appreciation of Proclus as preacher and exponent of the orthodox faith of his times. Jan H. Barkhuizen is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Ancient Languages, University of Pretoria. He has written variously on the homilies of Proclus and on the

Come to the all-wise one who guides us well on our way, and let us again follow Luke, in order that we may see Christ ascending a high mountain, as well as Peter and James and John, whom he is taking along as witnesses of his divine transfiguration. For it says that the Lord took aside those surrounding Peter and ascended a high mountain. A high mountain, on which Moses and Elijah conversed with Christ. A high mountain, on which the Law and the Prophets conversed with Grace. A high mountain, on which was Moses, who slaughtered the lamb of pascha, and sprinkled its blood on the doorposts of (the houses of) the Hebrews.

Extractions: PROCESSION PATHPROCLUS were prescribed. The Puritans, who aimed at setting up the Genevan model, objected; and the visitation articles of the bishops in Charles I.'s time make frequent inquisition England. *nto tne negject °f the clergy to obey the law in this matter. With " the profane, ungodly, presumptuous multitude " (to quote Baxter's Saint's Rest, 1650, pp. 344, 345), however, these " processions and perambulations " appear to have been very popular, though " only the traditions of their fathers." However this may be, the Commonwealth made an end of them, and they seem never to have been revived; Sparrow, in his Rationale upon the Book of Common Prayer (London, 1668), speaks of "the service formerly appointed in the Rogation days of Procession." Among the processions that survived the Reformation in the English Church was that of the sovereign and the Knights of the Garter on St George's day. This was until Charles II.'s time a regular rogation, the choristers in surplices, the gentlemen of the royal chapel in copes, and the canons and other clergy in copes preceding the knights and singing the litany. In 1661, after the Restoration, by order of the sovereign and knights companions in chapter " that supplicational procession " was " converted into a hymn of thanksgiving." Akin to this procession also are the others connected with royal functions; coronations, funerals. These retained, and retain, many pre-Reformation features elsewhere fallen obsolete. Thus at the funeral of George II. (1760) the body was received at the door of the Abbey by the dean and prebendaries in their copes, attended by the choir, all carrying lighted tapers, who preceded it up the church, singing.

Extractions: How he proves the theorem in the sixth book will be evident there. But now let us consider how he shows the theorem before us to be true, remarking only that he does not prove the universal proposition here, since he has not yet explained similarity in rectilinear figures, nor proved anything in general about proportion. Hence many of the things here proved in a partial fashion are proved in that book more generally through the use of the above method. In the present proposition the author of the Elements proves his conclusion by means of the ordinary theory of parallelograms. There are two sorts of right-angled triangles, isosceles and scalene. In isosceles triangles you cannot find numbers that fit the sides; for there is no square number that is de double of a square number, if you ignore approximations, such as the square of seven which lacks one of being double the square of five. But in scalene triangles it is possible to find such numbers, and it has been clearly shown that the square on the side subtending the right angle may be equal to the squares on the sides containing it. Such is the triangle in the republic, in which sides of three and four contain the right angle and five subtends it, so that the square on five is equal to the squares on those sides. For this is twenty-five, and of those the square of three is nine and that of four sixteen. The statement, then, is clear for numbers.

Extractions: Bert VAN DEN BERG Timaeus , the Eleusinian Mysteries and the Chaldaean Oracles Timaeus . For Proclus, this takes the form of a return to the divine demiurgical Intellect in which the soul finds rest and is able to contemplate the Forms. He finds himself in disagreement, though, about the question how exactly this return is to be achieved. It is commonly understood that Plato summons us in the Timaeus to engage in the study of the eternal and unchanging truths of mathematical astronomy and thus become participants in the eternal, i.e. the divine. Proclus denies this. He follows Iamblichus who had argued in the De Mysteriis that only ritual acts, not intellectual efforts, can make us truly divine, as well as the Chaldaean Oracles , the holy scriptures of the Athenian Neoplatonists, that warn people to flee the scientific study of the universe, if they want "to enter the sacred paradise of piety". Proclus puts his trust in mystery rites that include ritual purifications, like the Eleusinian Mysteries and the rites connected with the Chaldaean Oracles of the Timaeus , not with the World Soul as is commonly assumed, especially in the case of Hecate. The fact that Proclus is able to read back the theology of the

Extractions: Pronunciation Key Proclus , Neoplatonic philosopher, b. Constantinople. He studied at Alexandria and at Athens, where he was a pupil of the Platonist Syrianus, whom he succeeded as a teacher. As a partisan of paganism he was forced to leave Athens, but he returned at the end of a year. A synthesizer of Neoplatonic doctrines, Proclus gave the philosophy its most systematic form. He kept the elements of Plotinus, but introduced a principle of triadic development in the series of emanations; the three stages are an original, an emergence from the original, and a return in a lower form to the original. Proclus differed from Plotinus in regard to the origin of matter, which he held to emerge from the first emanation rather than from the plastic forces. Among his writings are commentaries on several Platonic dialogues and two treatises, On Plato's Theology and Institutes of Theology.
