Written by a monophysite theologian, the "Theosophy" aimed at demonstrating a basic harmony between Christian faith and pagan theology. This volume is a critical edition of the extant fragments and attempts to reconstruct the general framework and to understand the inner logic of its composition.

In four books and a world chronicle, with the help of numerous quotations from Greco-Roman and Oriental sources, the author of the Theosophy brings to light the providential harmony between Christian faith and pagan beliefs. A fascinating picture of the religious world of Late Antiquity emerges from this hitherto widely-ignored collection of oracles and prophecies.

Pier Franco Beatrice, Professor of Early Christian Studies at the University of Padua (Italy) since 1979, is an internationally recognized expert on religion in Greco-Roman Antiquity and in the Early Middle Ages. Currently a member of numerous scientific societies, he has also been the recipient of many international awards. His works include Tradux peccati (1978) and La lavanda dei piedi (1983).
