Is there a book (such as an pocket introductory booklet) or any lectures on Syrianus the Philosopher, such as some blog-essay? This seems like a silly question, however considering that he was the primary influence for the final philosopher of 'pagan' Platonism, Πρόκλος, then it would be very fanciful to know of him. Because of these theological metaphysics, you could even say he had an unintentional hand into the creation of the Jewish religion.

I mean there's always the Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Can't get a more scholarly blog-essay style introduction than that. After that I guess it depends on what you mean by 'introductory' but I don't think you can do much better than an introduction to an edition of one of his commentaries. If you are interested in more analytic questions, maybe look at Dillon-O’Meara's edition of his Aristotle; more in the platonic tradition, look at Sarah Wear's edition of his Timaeus and Parmenides. In any case if you're this deep into Neoplatonism you should already be pretty familiar with Timaeus... right?
>>25372906>Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. I see I'll keep that in mind more when studying. Both the second and first ennead make commentaries on Plato's works, how would you comprehend that without reading Plato? Such as how Plato reference's Homer's works in every book, how would you attain the full context of that without first having read Homer? Thank you Anon
Hello sir, please download pdf, available on google, of vol 2 of the Cambridge history of philosophy in late antiquity, pg 616-29.
