Abstract

In this article I reconstruct the source of a Greek verse a ributed to Zoroaster in Skovoroda’s dialogue Kol’co (1773–1774). In demonstrating that the source of the pseudo-Zoroastrian verse is indeed the anonymous Hymni orphici, a 5th century text fi rst printed in Florence in 1500 (Ορφεως Αργοναυτικα), I also discuss the relationship between Skovoroda and Renaissance Neoplatonism. In particular, I show that Skovoroda seems to follow the tradition of Renaissance Neoplatonists (especially Marsilio Ficino and his notion of a perennial wisdom, or prisca theologia) in considering the philosophy of the ancients (Plato, Orpheus, Zoroaster) to be diff erent temporal manifestations of a perennial Truth, which achieved its fi nal synthesis in Christian religion.
