Record summary
The Chaldean Oracles are a fragmentary Greek theurgical corpus associated with Julian the Theurgist and his father, probably composed in the late second century. Later Neoplatonists treated the verses as revealed wisdom concerning divine intellect, ritual ascent, intermediary beings, and the soul’s return. The material is valuable for comparing textual revelation with ritual theurgy and visionary cosmology. No complete ancient manuscript survives, and much of the corpus is reconstructed from quotations by later authors such as Proclus and Damascius. This is an AI-recalled lead, not confirmation of the reported revelation.
