Abstract
Analysis of a fragment of the Neoplatonist philosopher Amelius about the prologue of John's Gospel (Jn 1.1-18). Theme is the place of Amelius' paraphrasis of this important text about the divien and cosmic role of the "logos" within the history of philosophy and theology. A special interest is devoted to the cross-cultural exchange between early Christianity and Hellenistic-Roman education and philosophy.
