The ontological and epistemological framework of the cogitations set forth in Theodore Metochites’ Semeioseis gnomikai (c.1326)1 could be described as a rough-hewn Platonist torso with a somewhat mismatched Christian head. On the pattern of the simile of the Divided Line (in Plato’s Republic), spatiotemporal things are conceived of as somehow flawed representations of the entities of a higher order, which alone are really real and which alone can be truly known. I do not propose to discuss here the ontological status ascribed to these higher-order entities within this framework.
