The Works of Plato, Vol. 6
A New and Literal Version, Chiefly From the Text of Stallbaum (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Works of Plato, Vol. 6: A New and Literal Version, Chiefly From the Text of Stallbaum<br><br>In the present volume are contained those dialogues which, although considered spurious by the generality of critics, are always found in the complete editions of Plato. To these are added the three several Lives attributed to Diogenes Laertius, Hesychius, and Olympiodorus, and the two Introductions to the Platonic System by Alcinous and Albinus; also the three books of Apuleius relating to the Philosophy and Logic of Plato and Aristotle.<br><br>Of all these works, the only portions which have hitherto appeared in an English dress, are the Epinomis, the Life of Plato by Diogenes Laertius, and the Introduction of Alcinous. But even of these not one has been translated directly from the original.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
