MARINUS

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 722 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARINUS , neo-Platonist philosopher, was born in Palestine and was early converted to the old Greek religion. He came to Athens at a time when, with the exception of
Proclus
 , there was a
great
  dearth of eminent men in the neo-Platonic school. It was for this reason rather than for any striking ability of his own that he succeeded to the headship of the school on the death of
Proclus
 . During this period the professors of the old Greek religion suffered severe persecution at the hands of the Christians and Marinus was compelled to seek
refuge
  at Epidaurus. His
chief
 
work
  was a
biography
  of Proclus, which is extant. It was first published with the works of Marcus Antoninus in 1559; it was republished separately by
Fabricius
  at Hamburg in 1700, and re-edited in 1814 by Boissonade with emendations and notes. Other philosophical works are attributed to him, including commentaries on
Aristotle
  and on the Philebus. It is said that he destroyed the latter because Isidore, his successor, expressed disapproval of it.
