Plato Latinus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Plato Latinus is a project for the text-critical edition of the medieval translations of Plato's dialogues from Greek into Latin as well as Plato's commentaries written in Latin or translated into Latin. It is a sub-project of the Corpus Platonicum medii aevi , which consists of two parts, the Plato Latinus and the Plato Arabus , and belongs to the Corpus philosophorum medii aevi . The Corpus Platonicum medii aevi is managed by the British Academy , supported by the Warburg Institute and the Union Académique Internationale .

The project was proposed to the British Academy by William David Ross according to a plan submitted by Raymond Klibansky . To this end, the academy set up a commission headed by Ross, and in 1937 placed Klibansky in charge. The four-volume edition of the dialogues has been completed.
