Text in ancient Greek with the notes and commentary in Latin. With Henry Stephanus' commentary and editing. Also with notes and analysis by Marsilius Ficinius with additional various notes. Brunet 761. Dibdin 299. Moss 426-427. This set was published in twelve volumes. The twelfth volume was published in 1788 and contains only a summary of Plato's philosophy in Latin and an essay by M. Thiedman. It would appear that this final volume is rare: as of 11/23/2022 this cataloger could not locate the twelfth volume of this set in OCLC or in active commerce. All of Plato's philosophy which was published in this set is present in the first eleven volumes. Plato remains a foundational figure in Western philosophy with his dialogues touching on metaphysics love justice civic duty and countless other ancient themes and motifs which remain relevant today. Plato is the reason we are able to construct a picture of Socrates' life: his work provides a good deal of historical information on the Golden Age of Athens. This is a very attractive set of Plato's works edited by two seminal classical scholars. Minor wear to the extremities: overall the bindings are quite sharp except for the front joint of volume nine which is starting. Each volume's front pastedown has an armorial bookplate and an early nineteenth-century name. Volumes six nine and ten each have a small unobtrusive dampspot to a part of their textblocks.

Hinges are sound. Endpapers browned at corners and sporadically soiled. Internally in generally very good condition. Vol. 12 in poorer condition due to water damage to upper right corner: soiling and wormholes mainly affect the outer margin of the first half of the book.</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong> Marsilio Ficino 1433–1499 produced the first complete Latin translation of Plato's works in the 15th century completed around 1468–1484. His translation was commissioned by Cosimo de' Medici and became the standard for Western scholarship until the 19th century. Ficino translated all of Plato's dialogues available at the time including works like <em>The Republic Symposium Phaedo</em> and <em>Timaeus</em> as well as spurious or dubious texts e.g. <em>Epinomis</em>. His translation covered the entire Platonic corpus as understood in the Renaissance which was based on Byzantine manuscripts. The Biponti edition is distinguished by its juxtaposition of Ficino's elegant Latin translation with the Greek text edition from 1758 by Henri Estienne also known as Henricus Stephanus 1531–1598. Estienne's three-volume edition <em>Platonis Opera Quae Extant Omnia</em> published in Geneva in 1758 was considered the most authoritative edition of Plato's works until the early nineteenth century. The page numbering system used in this edition known as 'Stephanus pagination' is still used today when citing Plato's works. For classical philologists this edition remains a vital resource for studying Plato's Greek text its transmission and its reception in Western intellectual history.</p> Ex Typographia Societatis hardcover

1763138322Glasgow: Printed by Robert and Andrew Foulis 1763. First edition in English of Plato's Republic marking the first appearance in the English language of Plato's profoundly influential dialogue concerning the nature of justice. Quarto bound in full polished calf with raised gilt bands to the spine morocco spine label lettered in gilt all edges speckled red. Harry Spens was a minister at the parish of Wemyss in Fife and respected classicist. In his introduction he professes his intent in his translation is: "To give the English Reader a view of Plato's sentiments and manner of writing and to stir up the youth to the study of the Ancients." Richard Garnett in his own introduction of the Everyman's Library reprint of this translation laments the relative lack of critical attention paid to it writing: "On the whole Spens's version should not be lightly esteemed. It is clearly the work of a scholar and a man of considerable literary ability." The brothers Robert and Andrew Foulis were renowned printers of classical works in their time sometimes referred to as 'the Elzevirs of Britain.' Their works mostly intended for scholars were "much sought after as admirable specimens of typography and are noticeable for their severely plain elegance" DNB 7: 514. In very good condition. Rare and desirable. "Its setting and its characters are full of political meaning. Its arguments are tantalizing and its fables fascinating… Plato's utopia is alarming and his metaphysics are intoxicating" Levi 348. The Republic "has reinforced dedication awakened vocations to leadership and strengthened the morale of those modest and competent souls who are always in reality the guardians of society" Rexroth 79.
