By examining the case of some relevant intellectuals of the Early Komnenian period, the present contribution argues that the so-called 11th and 12th c. "Proklos-Renaissance" should be qualified and investigated according to the different modulations of style and target audiences of the 11th and 12th c. philosophical literature. Accordingly, in the conclusions this paper also provides evidence demonstrating that later Byzantine scholars would grant the appropriation of Proclus by intellectuals of this period almost the status of authentic "Neoplatonic" source material.
