Plato. Volume 2: The Dialogues First Period (1964)

First edition in English of this important Platonic study, originally published in German starting in 1928. Bollinger Series LIX 1, 2, 3. The first volume discusses Plato's life and milieu; the second two his Dialogues. Friedländer was a German-born philologist who had a distinguished career in Germany before being imprisoned and exiled in 1939, after which he had a distinguished career in the United States, teaching at Johns Hopkins and UCLA. These translations, done under the author's supervision, are based on the second German editions of 1954-1960, with some revisions to the text and extensive revisions and additions to the notes.
