The philosophical doctrines compiled by Stobaeus are full of ready-made phrases, γνῶμαι, judgments and moral recommendations, hence their influence on Byzantine and medieval florilegia.

In fact, De Anima by Iamblichus only survives in the pages of the Eclogae by Joannes Stobaeus, who included it in his collection under the title Ἰαμβλίχου ἐκ τοῦ περὶ ψυχῆς (<Taken from> On the Soul by Iamblichus). The treatise On the soul does not appear in the canonical listings of the works by Iamblichus, in fact it is not in the TLG under the Chalcidencis’ authorship. I have observed the itineraries of the theories about the soul and its projection on the Byzantine world, in the German edition of Curtius Wachsmuth and Otto Hense (1884-1923), for the translation and commentary of the passages I checked the English version by John Finamore and John Dillon (2003) and the Italian one by Lucrezia Martone (2014). Juan Estobeo, en el límite del siglo quinto con el sexto, recopiló la más extensa colección de literatura filosófica de su tiempo, en especial del neoplatonismo que tiene profundas raíces en la época alejandrina y se asoma al Imperio bizantino con objetivos edificantes. Las doctrinas filosóficas que el Estobeo compila están atestadas de frases hechas, γνῶμαι, sentencias y recomendaciones morales, de allí su influencia sobre los florilegia bizantinos y medievales. El principal valor de la antología radica en la transmisión de textos no atestiguados por otra fuente. De hecho, el tratado titulado en latín De Anima de Jámblico solo sobrevive en las páginas de las Eclogae de Juan Estobeo, quien lo incluyó en su colección bajo el título Ἰαμβλίχου ἐκ τοῦ περὶ ψυχῆς (<Tomado de> Acerca del alma de Jámblico). El tratado Sobre el alma no figura en los listados canónicos de las obras de Jámblico, de hecho tampoco está en el TLG bajo la autoría del Calcidience. Me he basado, para observar los itinerarios de las teorías sobre el alma y su proyección en el mundo bizantino, en la edición alemana de Curtius Wachsmuth y Otto Hense (1884-1923) y para la traducción y comentario de los pasajes he consultado la versión inglesa de John Finamore y John Dillon (2003) y la italiana de Lucrezia Martone (2014).
