Enneads


Lu par Geoffrey Edwards

(4.1 stars; 12 reviews)

The six Enneads (ΕΝΝΕΑΔΕΣ) are the collected writings of the Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus (ΠΛΩΤΙΝΟΣ) arranged by his student Porphyry (ΠΟΡΦΥΡΙΟΣ) into fifty-four books with each Ennead containing nine. The translator Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie arranged these books chronologically rather than according to Porphyry's numeration. This recording is organized according to Porphyry's numeration with Roman numerals indicating the Ennead and Hindu-Arabic numerals indicating the book e.g. VI.9 would be the ninth book of the sixth Ennead. A hyperlinked table of contents at Volume 1 Page 3 of the gutenberg.org text will enable you to jump to the specific Ennead if you wish to read along with the recording.

Critiques


(5 stars)

Except bugs contained to this app, the reader has a clear english accent, and reads in a good tempo. The book itself, of course, is excellent.

This book is read by a text-to-speech engine. It's better than nothing, but not easy for me to follow. I instead opted to purchase the book on Audible.
