Proclus' On the Hieratic Art according to the Greeks
Critical Edition with Translation and Commentary
Series:
Author:
The book is a critical edition of the text with an English translation and commentary of Proclusâ On the Hieratic Art according to the Greeks. The Hieratic Art is the Theurgic Art, theurgy, the theurgic union with the divine. Proclus describes the theurgic union, putting an emphasis on a conceptual blending of ritual actions (teletai, e.g. the role of statues, incenses, synthêmata, symbols, purifications, invocations and epiphanies) and philosophical concepts (e.g. union of many powers, âone and manyâ, symphathy, natural sympathies, attraction, mixing and division).
Eleni Pachoumi is currently an academic visiting fellow at Oxford University. She has published the monograph The Concepts of the Divine in the Greek Magical Papyri (Mohr Siebeck, 2017), co-edited the volume Praying and Contemplating in Late Antiquity: Religious and Philosophical Interactions (Mohr Siebeck, 2018), and edited the volume Conceptualising Divine Unions in the Ancient Greek and Near Eastern Worlds (Brill, 2022).
