45. SERENUS of theon of smyrna there appears a proposition of Serenus the philosopher, fromthe Lemmas to the effect that, if a number of rectilineal angles be subtended http://7.1911encyclopedia.org/S/SE/SERENUS.htm

SERENUS SERENUS, SAMMONICUS , Roman savant, author of a didactic medical poem, De medicina praecepta (probably incomplete). The work (1115 hexameters) contains a number of popular remedies, borrowed from Pliny and Dioscorides, and various magic formulae, amongst others the famous Abracadabra (q.v.), as a cure for fever and ague. It concludes with a description of the famous antidote of Mithradates VI. of Pontus. It was much used in the middle ages, but is of little value except for the ancient history of popular medicine. The syntax and metre are remarkably correct. It is uncertain whether the author was the famous physician and polymath, who was put to death in A.D. 212 at a banquet to which he had been invited by Caracalla, or his son, the tutor of the younger Gordian. The father, who was one of the most learned men of his age, wrote upon a variety of subjects, and possessed a library of 60,000 volumes, bequeathed to his son and handed on by the latter to Gordian. The editio princeps (ed. Sulpitius Verulanus, before 1484) is very rare; later ed. by J. G. Ackermann (Leipzig, 1786) and E. Bhrens, Poetae Latini minores, iii.; see also A.

The treatise On the Section of the Cone, though Serenus claims originality for it, is unimportant. It deals with the areas of triangular sections of right or scalene cones by planes through the vertex, finding e.g. the maximum triangular section of a right cone and the maximum triangle through the axis of a scalene cone,- and solving, in some easy cases, the problem of finding triangular sections of given area.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.03.07 Harold Tarrant Thrasyllan Platonism . Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1993 . Pp. x + 260. $34.50. ISBN 0-8014-2719-3. Reviewed by Lloyd Gerson, University of Toronto. Most classicists, including those specializing in ancient philosophy, will likely know at most two facts about Thrasyllus: he was the Emperor Tiberius' astrologer and he arranged the Platonic corpus into tetralogies. Many will assume that there is not a great deal more than this to be known about him given the extant documents. For example, John Dillon's careful and thorough survey, The Middle Platonists. 80 B.C. to A.D. 220, devotes less than a page to Thrasyllus. It will also be assumed that this is not a particularly lamentable state of affairs, since Thrasyllus is likely to have been at best a minor figure in the history of Platonism. Harold Tarrant has set out to challenge these assumptions in his latest book, Thrasyllan Platonism. Tarrant believes that a careful study of the evidence reveals Thrasyllus to be a far more formidable figure than anyone has hitherto supposed. At the conclusion of his book he writes, "The influence of Thrasyllus, if my arguments have any credibility, would seem to have been immense. It falls into five main areas: philosophical influence upon (1) Neopythagoreanism, (2) Middle Platonism, and (3) Neoplatonic and early Christian thought; and influence upon Platonic interpretation down to our own times by means of (4) an arrangement of the Platonic corpus that survives and presents the material to us in a particular manner, giving an initial claim to authenticity to all that it contains and overwhelming suspicions of spuriousness to all that it does not contain, and (5) a text of Plato that Thrasyllus' interpretative hand has coloured (208)."

What we know of Ptolemy's biography The most definite information that we have about Ptolemy's life comes from his own writings. His astronomical treatise, the Almagest , contains references to several dated observations that he says that he made of the several heavenly bodies at Alexandria in Egypt from the mid 120s to the early 140s A.D.

57. Theosophy Library Online - Great Teacher Series - ALBINUS Albinus was the contemporary of theon of smyrna, who wrote a mathematical introductionto Plato, a compilation of quotations on Platonic philosophy which http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/teachers/Albinus.htm

ALBINUS Plato's doctrine of Fate is something like this: all things, he says, are in Fate, but not everything is fated. For though Fate holds the rank of law, it does not decree that one person shall do this and another suffer that, for if it did, it would go on ad infinitum producing infinite things and infinite accidents associated with them. Moreover, there would be nothing in our power, and praise and blame as well as everything like that would vanish. Rather, Fate decrees that if a soul selects a life of this kind, and does certain acts, then certain things will follow upon the selection. The soul then is without a master, and it rests with itself to do or to refrain from an act: it is not forced to do this or that. Nonetheless, whatever follows from doing something is accomplished by Fate. For example, if a Paris carries off a Helen, he freely does so, but it follows that Greeks will war with Trojans for her sake. Didaskalikos XXVI ALBINUS The rise of Stoic philosophy, austere and admirable in its demanding way of life, but metaphysically limited from a Platonic perspective, eventually attracted the attention of the Academy. Whilst the Old Academy dealt with questions raised by Plato, the Middle Academy, marked by the election of Crates in 270 B.C., focussed on detailed responses to Stoic philosophy. This critical and even negative use of dialectic resulted in a steady drift towards scepticism, a reaction to all dogmatic schools which propounded specific doctrines. With the election of Carneades, who died in 128 B.C., the New Academy was rigidly sceptical; Carneades emphasized

AMMONIUS SACCAS Interest in Pythagoras naturally led to a renewed interest in the teachings of Plato. Eudorus of Alexandria wrote commentaries on the Timaeus around Ammonius Saccas was born around 175 A.D. to Christian parents who attempted to raise him in the faith. From early childhood, however, he was repelled by the extreme dogmatism that characterized the vociferous Alexandrian Christian movement. Disgusted by the mediumistic and superstitious tendencies indulged by numerous Christian devotees, he immersed himself in the philosophic quest of the older Hellenic religion. Unlike many intellectuals of the day, Ammonius willingly worked to earn a living, and while vulgar tradition holds that the surname 'Saccas' was derived from his occupation as a sack-bearer, the name [GREEK HERE] could equally well be taken as meaning 'shield of Ammon'. His search for an understanding of the nature of things was nourished by the conviction that one must practise the truths one learns in every context if one is to fully realize them. Devotion to his studies brought him to a deep consideration of Plato's teaching, and he found there a spirit of inquiry which matched his concern to discover a universal philosophy. His persistent meditation upon these teachings opened the way for him to receive illuminated insights through dreams and visions. Hierocles aptly called him Theodidaktos

AD mathematician Theon of Smyrna Part of the Ottoman (i.e. Turkish) Empire from c.1425, Smyrna was for centuries a prosperous trading port to rival Constantinople. The Western powers established commercial bases there (by agreement with the Ottoman Empire) as early as the 16th century (e.g. the English government-backed Levant Company estab 1581), and many western merchants lived there with their families. For centuries Smyrna was a cosmopolitan place with a large permanent European population. The westerners, from many different countries in W Europe, tended to marry among themselves, and all the families ended up related. The Maltass family went out there from England in the mid-18th cent. Late 18th cent. - early 19th cent.
