Celsus

Platonist philosopher

A context author

Celsus is included as a context author: a figure whose ideas shaped, or were answered by, the Christian writers in this library. We record context authors so that the lines of influence between writers connect, and we do not catalogue their own writings. Some of those writings are lost, some survive only in the replies of those who wrote against them, and some lie outside what this library collects.

The writers Celsus is connected to are listed under Influence below.

Influence

Who shaped Celsus, and who Celsus shaped. Each line is a judgment confirmed by a person; the evidence sits in the catalogue, not on this page.
