A community-maintained tertiary reference on Iamblichus, directly examined. Its strength is dated life bounds and a named surviving work defending theurgy against a named teacher's criticism; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Neoplatonism studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
