Sumario:This article studies the definition of microcosm that Berthold of Moosburg presents on his commentary on the Elementatio Theologica of Proclo. It establishes that the concept of microcosm that Berthold develops doesn’t come directly from Hermetic’s treatises but from an Asclepius’s text modified by Albertus Magnus on some of his most Neoplatonic works: his Commentaries to the Aristotelian’s Metaphysics and to the Liber of Causis. Berthold partially follows Albertus but also innovates his analysis, by radicalizing some tendencies of his thought and deepening his Neoplatonism with new sources.
