THAT the desizn of the Platonic Timeus embraces the whole of physiology, and that it pertains to the theory of the universe, discussing this trom the be- ginning to the end, appears to me to be clearly evident to. those who are not entirely illiterate, For this very treatise of the Pythagoric Timawus Concerning Nature, is written after the Pythagoric manner; and Plato being thence impelled, applied himself to write the Timwus, according to Sillographus." On this account we have pretixed the treatise of Timaus to these Commentaries, in order that we may know what the Timeus of Plato says that is the same with what is asserted in the treatise of Tinzeus (the Loecrian], what it adds, and in what it dissents. And that we may investizate not in a careless manner the cause of this disagree- ment. All this dialogue, likewise, through the whole of itself, has physiology tor its scope, surveying the same things in images and in’ paradigms, in wholes and in parts. For it is filled with all the most beautifal boundaries * of physiology, assuming things simple for the sake of such as are composite, parts for the sake of wholes, and images for the sake of paradigms, leaving none of the principal causes of nature uninvestigated. * Viz.
