I have just written a lengthy article for my blog Academy of Neoplatonism on the topic of the lost works of Proclus. It is wholly speculative but supremely interesting considering that the problem of what happened to Proclus' 13 lost works, at the least count, has not been dealt with by scholars . My conjecture is that these works were actually lost in an accidental fire of Proclus' home. There is some weight to this thesis, considering the unusual occurrence of the Tria Opuscula, Proclus' three minor works that deal with the problems of providence, fate and evil. You will find out much more by reading the full article here:
