Plutarch on the Face Which Appears on the Orb of the Moon: Translation and Notes, With Appendix (Classic Reprint) by Wilfrid John Hall (PDF)

Description

It was printed, without any idea of publication, in order to obtain a full revision by others, and to clear the ground for some further attempt to deal with the textual and other difficulties of this dialogue, before proceeding with other parts of Plutarch s Moralia. A s, however, it was clear that this revision could be better obtained if the draft were circulated more freely among a public, however limited, and as I was encouraged to think that the dialogue might interest some general readers, I decided to put it out as it stands, the printer adding some necessary aids, such as the insertion in the margin of the names of successive speakers. I have included notes on a few of the textual difficulties (to which my attention had been called by an eminent scholar, and which were my primary interest), and an introductory note calling attention to parts of the subject matter which seem to deserve the fuller consideration of competent persons. The text followed throughout has been that of Wyttenbach s Oxford edition. I have, I hope, called attention to every deviation from his readings, i.e., from those to be found in his text, or his translation, or his critical notes. I have derived much assistance from the Teubner edition throughout, and owe to it, in most cases, my first knowledge of modern corrections, including those of M. Bernardakis himself. As I have explained, I had not the materials for a continuous critical commentary. The few attempts which I have made at reconstruction may be thought somewhat hazardous ;they might possibly seem less unjustifiable if the reader had before him the whole history of the text and of the corrections made by the great Renaissance(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don’t occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.
