Neoplatonism.org Builds a Library Around the Golden Chain
A digital library tracing Neoplatonist texts, translations, commentaries, and lines of influence from Plotinus through Ficino.
Field notes
The library groups material into ten benches, including Plotinian, Athenian, Arabic, Medieval Latin, Renaissance, and English-reception sections. Its proposed reading interface puts a passage at the centre while placing sources, later uses, translations, and disagreements around it; the first named thread runs from Proclus through the Book of the Pure Good and Liber de causis to Albert and Aquinas. Source material is described as transcribed from public-domain editions, with modern critical editions used for numbering.
