It also showed marked interest in Neo-platonism. 2024-05-14T15:43:51Z 2024-05-14T15:43:51Z 2008 book ONIX_20240514_9780857710420_2 9780857710420 9781845115425 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/90213 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9780857710420.pdf Bloomsbury Academic I.B.
