Review

A unified project, and executed with notable editorial consistency ... unless there are major new papyrus finds, or the study of ancient Greek revives, it is unlikely that the world will ever have a better text of Plato than this. (Bryn Mawr Classical Review)

The first volume of the new Platonis Opera has been long desired ... A special feature of this edition is the thoroughness with which it utilizes the evidence of the indirect tradition (Mark Joyal, Memorial Univ of Newfoundland, Hermathena)

No text can satisfy all readers, least of all the text of an author whose meaning has been the subject of fierce argument for almost 2,400 years. But this edition, with its thorough, accurate, and reliable presentation of the evidence, allows the thoughtful user to make his own decisions. It is a worthy successor to Burnet and will be the standard text of the first two tetralogies for a great many years to come. (Mark Joyal, Memorial Univ of Newfoundland, Hermathena)
