PRISCUS

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 361 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PRISCUS , a
Greek
  Neoplatonist philosopher, of the school of Iamblichus and Aedesius. He died about the year 398 at the age of ninety. The emperor
Julian
  frequently invited him to
court
  on the strength of his reputation in connexion with theurgy.
Eunapius
  says that he was a man of dignified and austere habit. Unlike Maximus, he used his
influence
  over
Julian
  with
great
  moderation. He died during the
Gothic
  invasion of
Greece
  (A.D. 39698). He is important partly as maintaining the best traditions of philosophy during a period when Neoplatonism as a whole was a parasite of imperial
power
 , and partly as being a connecting link between Iamblichus and
Plutarch
  of Athens.
See Zeller's Hist. of
Greek
  Phil.
