![]() ![]() Hardy Hansen in Classical World 102.3 (2009) This is undoubtedly the most important commentary on the dialogue ever to have been written I find Rijksbaron’s commentary to be thorough and sound. Has tackled Ion while learning Greek will find Rijksbaron’s work invaluable. Suzanne Stern-Gillet in The International Journal of the Platonic TraditAlbert Rijksbaron has produced an indispensible scholarly edition of Plato’s Ion, with a new text based on a collation in situ of the primary manuscripts and a commentary whose “strong linguistic orientation” (x) and careful philology shed new light on nearly every line of the dialogue. Plato: Ion or: On the Iliad, edited with Introduction and Commentary should now take its place as the prime point of reference for all those who aim at doing serious work on Plato’s poetics in general and the Ion in particular. Robert Mayhew in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2008.07.46 ![]() ![]() Not only is it arguably the most important work ever written on the Ion, scholars interested in Plato's dialogues generally should find it indispensable as a philological aid. ![]()
