A Text Worthy of Plotinus
How Plotinus and later Platonism became central to the
study of ancient philosophy
A Text Worthy of Plotinus makes available for the first
time information on the collaborative work that went into the
completion of the first reliable edition of Plotinus'
Enneads : Plotini Opera , editio maior ,
three volumes (Brussels, Paris, and Leiden, 1951-1973), followed by
the editio minor , three volumes (Oxford, 1964-1983). Pride
of place is given to the correspondence of the editors, Paul Henry
S.J. and Hans-Rudolf Schwyzer, with other prominent scholars of
late antiquity, amongst whom are E.R. Dodds, B.S. Page, A.H.
Armstrong, and J. Igal S.J. Also included in the volume are related
documents consisting in personal memoirs, course handouts and
extensive biographical notices of the two editors as well as of
those other scholars who contributed to fostering the revival of
Plotinus in the latter half of the 20th century. Taken together,
letters and documents let the reader into the problems -
codicological, exegetical, and philosophical - that are involved in
the interpretation of medieval manuscripts and their transcription
for modern readers. Additional insights are provided into the
nature of collaborative work involving scholars from different
countries and traditions.
A Text Worthy of Plotinus will prove a crucial archive
for generations of scholars. Those interested in the philosophy of
Plotinus will find it a fount of information on his style, manner
of exposition, and handling of sources. The volume will also appeal
to readers interested in broader trends in 20th century scholarship
in the fields of Classics, History of Ideas, Theology, and
Religion.
