grbs-10911	Merlan, Philip	Ammonius Hermiae, Zacharias Scholasticus and Boethius	1968	11	.pdf	application/pdf	4638	263	63	193 Ammonius Hermiae, Zacharias Scholasticus and Boethius Philip M erlan I N HIS Ammonius,l Zacharias tells us that from Alexandria a young man arrived in Berytus one day to devote himself to the study of jurisprudence. And to familiarize oneself with the spirit of his school a study of Zacharias' Ammonius is most helpful-despite the fact that it was written to belittle Ammonius-if read as it should be, viZ. as essentially a historical document.36 If in addition we remind ourselves that Ammonius Hermiae in all likelihood became a Christian37 (i.e. was baptized) and that Gesius became another38-whatever their motives and whatever their subsequent conduct in life and in teach­ ing-this also should help us to see in proper perspective the possi­ bility that Boethius did indeed lapse from Christianity.	cache/grbs-10911.pdf	txt/grbs-10911.txt
