This book contains the complete Greek text of Plato's works, incorporating variant readings (varietas lectionis) from earlier major critical scholars (Henri Estienne (Stephanus), Immanuel Bekker, and Gottfried Stallbaum) along with scholiasts and a name index. Works include: Euthyphron, Plato's Theaitetos, Philebus, and Menexenus, and more.

Condition

Very much a reading copy only, and in quite worn condition. The leather is rubbed and bumped, and there is some fraying and peeling to the cloth. There are several large old water stains to the pages at the front and rear of the book, and numerous pencil annotations to the margins. Emmanuel College prize label to ffep. However, if it's a working copy you're after, this would fit the bill...
