In this paper I analize the notion of authypóstaton in Nicolás of Cusa?s treatise De Principio (1459). I will specifically explore Cusanus? in- terpretation of this concept based on his direct access to Proclus? Elementatio Theologica and In Parmenidem, i.e., two Proclean works in their Latin version. I will claim that Nicholas displaced the notion of authypóstaton from the domain of henads to that of the first principle. Thus, it becomes both an intellectual and a supra-intellectual principle. However, the assimilation of this notion by Cusanus shows that he was consciously enrolled in that phil- osophical tradition
