PLATONIC Year, or the Great Year, is a period of
time determined by the revolution of the equinoxes, or
the space wherein the stars and constellations return to
their former places in respect of the equinoxes. The
platonic year, according to Tycho Brahe, is 25816, ac-
cording to Ricciolus 25910, and according to Cassini
24800 years.
This period once accomplished, it was an opinion
among the ancients that the world was to begin anew,
and the same series of things to turn over again.
