The Metaphysics of Light in the Hexaemeral Literature

From Philo of Alexandria to Gregory of Nyssa

Beschreibung

This volume critically re-evaluates the received interpretation of the nature of light in the ancient sources. The view that vision had priority over light is rejected in favour of a luminocentric reading of philosophical and theological cosmology in late antiquity.
