Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Republic of Plato: Edited With Critical Notes and an Introduction on the d104
The text of the Republic, as is well known, rests chie?y upon Codex Parisinus A (number This noble Manuscript so excited the admiration of Gobet that he was willing to commit the others to the ?ames. Vile damnum, ' he exclaims, 'si omnes ad unum ?ammis comburerenturl.' Later critics, while recognizing the unchallenged supremacy of A, have admitted that the Venetian codex II has some title to con sideration. According to Schanz, II is the best representative of the second of the two families or groups into which he divides Bekker's twelve Manuscripts of the Republic. Beyond the limits of these two mss, Schanz declines to go.
