The philosophical and mathematical commentaries of Proclus on the first book of Euclid's elements (Vol. 2 of 2) : To which are added, A history of the restoration of Platonic theology, by the latter Platonists: And a translation from the Greek of Proclus's Theological elements

This volume continues an ambitious exploration of the relationship between geometry and philosophy. It examines the foundations of Euclidean reasoning—definitions, hypotheses, petitions, and axioms—asking how these starting points differ, why they require acceptance, and how they support every later theorem and problem. Mathematical precision is paired with broader reflections on knowledge, demonstration, and the structure of reason.

The work then expands into the history and principles of later Platonic theology. It presents an account of the revival of Platonic thought among ancient philosophers, followed by a translation of a systematic theological treatise addressing unity, intellect, soul, and the ordered nature of reality. Scholarly, argumentative, and rooted in classical metaphysics, this volume will appeal to listeners interested in ancient mathematics, the history of philosophy, and the intricate connections between geometrical order and theological speculation.
