520    "Priscian of Lydia was one of the Athenian philosophers 
       who took refuge in 531 AD with King Khosroes I of Persia, 
       after the Christian Emperor Justinian stopped the teaching
       of the pagan Neoplatonist school in Athens. This was one 
       of the earliest examples of the sixth-century diffusion of
       the philosophy of the commentators to other cultures. 
       Tantalisingly, Priscian fully recorded in Greek the 
       answers provided by the Athenian philosophers to the 
       king's questions on philosophy and science. But these 
       answers survive only in a later Latin translation which 
       understood both the Greek and the subject matter very 
       poorly. Our translators have often had to reconstruct from
       the Latin what the Greek would have been, in order to 
       recover the original sense. The answers start with 
       subjects close to the Athenians' hearts: the human soul, 
       on which Priscian was an expert, and sleep and visions. 
       But their interest may have diminished when the king 
       sought their expertise on matters of physical science: the
       seasons, celestial zones, medical effects of heat and cold,
       the tides, displacement of the four elements, the effect 
       of regions on living things, why only reptiles are 
       poisonous, and winds. At any rate, in 532 AD, they moved 
       on from the palace, but still under Khosroes' protection. 
       This is the first translation of the record they left into
       English or any modern language. This English translation 
       is accompanied by an introduction and comprehensive 
       commentary notes, which clarify and discuss the meaning 
       and implications of the original philosophy. Part of the 
       Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, the edition 
       makes this philosophical work accessible to a modern 
       readership and includes additional scholarly apparatus 
       such as a bibliography, glossary of translated terms and a
       subject index"--|cProvided by publisher.
