Titolo The Number of Books of Iamblichus' Babylonian (on Photos Bibl. 94, 78b 3) Periodico Prometheus Anno: 2016 - Volume: 42 - Pagina iniziale: 219 - Pagina finale: 225
The aim of this paper is to reconsider the final words of chapter 94 in Photius’ Bibliotheca on Iamblichus’ Babyloniaca (?? ??? ? ??´ ?????, “with these facts book 16 ends”). Literary, codicological, and textual evidence concur to prove that Photius’ summary of Iamblichus’ novel is actually incomplete and his words do not refer to the Babyloniaca as a whole.
