What reading level is The Neo Platonists Microform a Study in the History of Hellenism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her fate in 415 at the hands of the Alexandrian monks, under the patriarchate of Cyril (as recorded by the ecclesiastical historian Socrates), was not followed immediately by the ces- sation of the Alexandrian chair of philosophy, which indeed continued to have occupants longer than any other. Between 415 and 450, Hierocles, the author of the commentary on the Pythagorean Golden Verses, still professed Neo-Platonism. He was a pupil of Plutarch at Athens, but took up the office of teacher at Ale...xandria, of which he was a native. He too was an adherent of the old religion ; and, for something he had said that was thought disrespectful towards the new, he was sentenced by a Christian magistrate of Constantinople to be scourged 1 . Several more names of Alexandrian commentators are recorded; ending with Olympiodorus in the latter part of the sixth century 2 . All these names, however, — beginning with Hierocles, — belong in reality to the Athenian succession 3 .
Plutarch died at an advanced age in 431.
