This volume originates from a panel held at the 2014 ISNS meeting in Lisbon, but is supplemented by a number of invited papers.Studies in Platonism, Neoplatonism, and the Platonic Tradition20.NeoplatonismAngelsDemonologyNeoplatonism.Angels.Demonology.186.4Brisson LucO'Neill Seamus Joseph1977-Timotin AndreiNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910796979003321Neoplatonic demons and angels3832809UNINA
