Skip over main navigation to content. Welcome Your Parks Park Zine ... Feedback Natural Features Porphyry Island is the last island in a chain stretching southwest from the Black Bay Peninsula. It is generally flat to rolling with little relief and the rugged shoreline offers little shelter. The rocks of the peninsula and the island are of Late Precambrian age and consist of more than 300 distinctive lava flows. These ancient volcanic flows are typically grey-green basalt intermixed with minor amounts of sedimentary rocks. Geologists call these rocks the Osler Group. The island and nature reserve take their name from the characteristic quartz and feldspar crystals, or porphyries found in the volcanic rocks. The nature reserve is on the southern margin of the boreal forest. Its interior supports a mixed forest dominated by white birch in the south and balsam fir in the north. Wetlands with concentrations of black spruce are also found here. Lichens are commonly seen draping mature trees and as barrens intermixed with hardy flowering plants along rocky shorelines. The rocky shores also support arctic species, like encrusted saxifrage, insectivorous butterwort and the sedge. Of greater interest is the presence of devil's club in the forest. Populations of this thorny shrub here, and on adjacent islands, are the only known occurrences east of the Rocky Mountains.

Porphyry and Iamblichus were both highly esteemed and influential Pagan Neoplatonic philosophers whose views, especially their religious views, have not tended to receive a fair and unprejudiced treatment, and this is true of Iamblichus most of all. Oddly enough, despite the reputations of these documents, a careful analysis will show that neither of them are primarily concerned with magic. What they are concerned with is traditional Pagan religion, its apparent contradictions, and its relationship to philosophy.

Porphyry Introduction Porphyry is a type of volcanic rock belonging to the Atesina porphyry platform, an enormous complex of volcanic rocks in Italy's Trentino Alto Adige region. These rocks, which differ greatly in their chemical composition and formation, are the result of intense volcanic activity which developed with linear eruptions through numerous fractures. This began 260 million years ago in the Lower Permian and carried on for several million more years, alternating between phases of eruptions and inactivity. Porphyry comes from ignimbrites , which is a deposit in these rocks from the volcanic activity. Ignimbrites are flows of gaseous-liquid mixtures between 5 and 20 metres thick with a rather constant chemical composition and which constituted the ignimbritic unit which is hundreds of metres thick. At present porphyry is worked only in one of these units (classified as rhyolitic ignimbrite) characterised by very neat vertical fissuring and percussion fracturing which are necessary for working porphyry; because of the lack of stratification, it is possible to work a thickness of about 100-200 metres. The chemical composition of porphyry (over 70% silica, about 14% alumina, 8% alkali and small percentages of iron, calcium and magnesium), its minerals composition (quartz, sanidine and plagioclase crystals with smaller amounts of biotite and of pyroxenes in a vitreous paste) and its distinctive structure, as well as stratification, determine porphyry's technical characteristics (high compression breaking point, high resistance to chemical agents, high sliding and rolling friction) which make it one of the most important materials for paving and facing in Europe.

Porphyry's Letter to His Wife Marcella Concerning the Life of Philosophy and the Ascent to the Gods Translated by Alice Zimmern Introduction by David Fideler At an elderly age Porphyry the Neoplatonist married Marcella, a widow of a close friend who had seven children, but shortly thereafter he was called away, urged on by the gods, to attend to the affairs of the Greeks. Out of print for nearly a hundred years, Porphyry's Letter to Marcella is a personal and moving document. In addition to explaining why he chose Marcella as his partner in marriage, Porphyry consoles his wife and reminds Marcella not to neglect the life of philosophy, conceived of here as the care of the soul in its re-ascent to the One. Porphyry writes of how God is best honored and of the divine principles which must be upheld by the philosopher in daily life. He notes that "no things can be more entirely opposed to one another than a life of pleasure and ease, and the ascent to the gods." Porphyry here describes the preparatory stages of that ascent, and how the ascent is accomplished. Porphyry's Letter to His Wife Marcella Paper, 64 pages, ISBN 0-933999-27-5, $6.00

Porphyry's Launching-Points to the Realm of Mind An Introduction to the Neoplatonic Philosophy of Plotinus Translated by Kenneth Guthrie Introduction by Michael Hornum Porphyry (circa 233-305 A.D.) is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of Western philosophy. A disciple of Plotinus, he was responsible for editing and transmitting the writings of his great master, and was a brilliant philosopher in his own right. Porphyry authored a great number and variety of philosophical works, many of which have either been lost or destroyed. Among these writings are a detailed treatise on vegetarianism (he considers the question both pro and con), several important metaphysical expositions, as well as a unique contribution to the science of textual criticism, Against the Christians , in which he correctly demonstrated that "The Book of Daniel" was a late forgery of the Maccabean period. This book is a summary of the teachings of the great Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus and deals with the nature of incorporeal principles in the realm of Mind or Spirit. Porphyry shows how the realm of Mind, because it is nowhere, not being limited by time or space, is present everywhere — as Michael Hornum notes in his introduction, "Our higher self does not lie within us, as if an internal organ, or hover somewhere about the galaxy, but is present to each of us with an intimacy closer than any corporeal thing can have." Both Porphyry's text and Hornum's introduction invite the reader, in the words of Plotinus, "to wake to another mode of seeing, which every man has but which few men use."

PORPHYRY COPPER DEPOSITS Mineral Deposits... Earth Science Australia... Based on Notes From The Prospecting School on the Web Introduction Distribution and age Classification What to look for in the field ... Conclusion INTRODUCTION The major products from porphyry copper deposits are copper and molybdenum or copper and gold. The term porphyry copper now includes engineering as well as geological considerations; It refers to large, relatively low grade, epigenetic, intrusion-related deposits that can be mined using mass mining techniques. Geologically, the deposits occur close to or in granitic intrusive rocks that are porphyritic in texture. There are usually several episodes of intrusive activity, so expect swarms of dykes and intrusive breccias. The country rocks can be any kind of rock, and often there are wide zones of closely fractured and altered rock surrounding the intrusions. As is described following, this country rock alteration is distinctive and changes as you approach mineralization. Where sulphide mineralization occurs, surface weathering often produces rusty-stained bleached zones from which the metals have been leached; if conditions are right, these may redeposit near the water table to form an enriched zone of secondary mineralization. top of page..

Seleukid history according to the Chronika of Porphyrios of Tyre (AD 232/3-305) preserved in the Chronikon (1.40) of Eusebios of Caesarea (AD 260-340) The Kings of Asia and Syria after Alexander the Great 1. When Philip (III) Arrhidaios completed the sixth year of his kingship in the third year of the 115th Olympiad (318 BC) Antigonos I was king of Asia and ruled for 18 years, having lived 86 years in all. He then became the most feared of all the kings and died in Phrygia, being attacked on account of the fear that all the dynasts had for him in the fourth year of the 119th Olympiad (301 BC). 2. His son, Demetrios (I), having fled to Ephesos, was saved. When he was deprived of the whole of Asia he seemed to be a king most skilled of all in siegecraft, on account of which he was called Poliorketes (“Besieger”). He was king for 17 years. Seleukos (I), capturing Demetrios Poliorketes in Kilikia, commanded that he be held in royal condition, bringing the kingdom of Asia under his power until his death. 4. Ptolemy I the son of Lagos was the king of Egypt after Alexander for 40 years. Coming to Old Gaza he joined in battle with Demetrios the son of Antigonos and being victorious he gave Seleukos (I) the kingdom of Syria and adjacent regions. But Seleukos went as far as Babylonia and holding power over the barbarians he was king for 32 years. On account of this he was called Nikanor (“Conqueror”).

info cobblestone marble granite ... e-mail Because there is little or no maintenance required, PORPHYRY has, for many years, been an important paving material in Europe. Now PORPHYRY is becoming a popular architectural stone with town planners and architects for prestigious construction projects worldwide. Porphyry The Romans used PORPHYRY to build their highways. Today, a new look has evolved. Earthtone colors of gray, brown, rust, buff and violet are used to create a 1990s appearance. The beauty of PORPHYRY is in its coloration. PORPHYRY is a volcanic rock formed from a slow cooling process of igneous material. It has a high compression breaking point and a high resistance to chemical agents. PORPHYRY'S durability makes it extremely suitable for paving pedestrian walkways, recreational areas, town squares and roads. It is non-slip and not attacked by salt. This makes it appropriate for use in roads where harsh winter conditions exist and in waterfront projects. SETTS / CUBES PORPHYRY cubes are available in surface sizes 4-6cm, 6-8cm, 8-10cm,10-12cm, 12-15cm, and 14-18cm. The thickness is similar to the surface dimension.

Both Porphyry's parents were Phoenician and he would only get the nickname Porphyry later in his life as we shall explain below. Porphyry was named after his father so for many years he was known as Malchus. As a young man Porphyry tried to gain as broad a knowledge as he possibly could by studying many languages and religions. At that time Athens was the main centre for learning, so it was natural that someone with a thirst for knowledge as Porphyry had should travel there to continue his studies. In Athens Porphyry became a student of Longinus who [8]:- ... was a 'living library and walking museum' and the academic's critical attention to detail, clarity of style and erudition left their permanent mark on the keen student.
