Priscus of Epirus (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Priscus of Epirus (c. 305-c. 395) was a Neoplatonist philosopher and theurgist, a colleague of Maximus of Ephesus, and a friend of the emperor Julian. Priscus was a pupil of Aedesius in Pergamon, and later went to teach in Athens where he taught Julian. When Julian was in Gaul, he wrote to Priscus in the hope of acquiring the writings of Iamblichus on the Chaldean Oracles. When Julian was proclaimed Caesar he summoned Priscus to Gaul, and he took him with him to Constantinople when he became Augustus in 361.
