Abstract

This paper discusses the possibility of resolving main issues on Calcidius (the spelling and pronunciation of his name [Calcidius — C(h)alcidius], the period of author’s flourishing). Calcidius’ texts — a translation of part of Plato’s dialogue “Timaeus” (Plat. Tim. 17—53c), a commentary on the translated fragment (In Tim. 31c—53c), a Letter to Osius, which precedes the translation and commentary, — are under consideration. An integrated approach to considering the text of Calcidius is proposed. It is aimed — in addition to studying the content of Calcidius’ text and his Greek sources in a historical and philosophical context — at considering the historical situation that has developed in the area of the author’s intended activity; conducting a substantive, textual and terminological comparison of fragments of Calcidius’ “Commentary” with corresponding plots from the texts of Latin encyclopaedists-translators of Greek knowledge, close to him in time and genre (such as Macrobius and Martianus Capella), and Christian authors (among which Augustine and Isidore of Seville); attraction of a wide layer of evidence of a prosopographical nature. An attempt has been made to identify the general and special in the Latin terminology of Calcidius and Macrobius in their discussions of dreams.
