Abstract
Treatise IV 7 (2) is one of the 17 texts by Plotinus for which the manuscript tradition presents, in the text’s margins, a Greek numbering for which its significance is, at first sight, unclear. P. Henry suggested that it is a sort of ‘note marker’ referring to Plotinian words and phrases explained by Porphyry in one of his lost commentaries on the Enneads. On the ground of a new analysis of these marginal annotations, we take up here Henry’s hypothesis and suggest that we may see in this numbering a trace of a chapter division of the treatise far from the Ficinian one modern scholars are accustomed to referring to| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
