A collection of studies on Gregory of Nyssa published in Leiden by Brill in 1970, returning to the author of Daniélou's doctoral thesis, Platonisme et théologie mystique (1944). As the title says, the studies concern being and time in Gregory's thought, his understanding of created reality as change and of the soul's endless progress towards God. No English translation is known.
