The Cambridge History of Philosophy in Late Antiquity 2 Volume Hardback Set by Lloyd P. Gerson

This is dense book on the arcane Platonism that flourished in the declining years of classical antiquity. While each chapter is written by a different author, the editing is skillful enough to ensure that there are few redundencies and lacuna.
