Reviews
This is a remarkable book. Not only is it arguably the most important work ever written on the Ion, scholars interested in Plato's dialogues generally should find it indispensable as a philological aid. Robert Mayhew in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2008.07.46
Plato: Ion or: On the Iliad, edited with Introduction and Commentary should now take its place as the prime point of reference for all those who aim at doing serious work on Plato’s poetics in general and the Ion in particular. Suzanne Stern-Gillet in The International Journal of the Platonic Tradition 3, 2009
Albert Rijksbaron has produced an indispensible scholarly edition of Plato’s Ion, with a new text based on a collation in situ of the primary manuscripts and a commentary whose “strong linguistic orientation” (x) and careful philology shed new light on nearly every line of the dialogue. [...] anyone who has taught Ion or who
has tackled Ion while learning Greek will find Rijksbaron’s work invaluable. Hardy Hansen in Classical World 102.3 (2009)
This is undoubtedly the most important commentary on the dialogue ever to have been written [...] I find Rijksbaron’s commentary to be thorough and sound. All in all, this is now the standard edition, and short of some unforeseeable revolution will remain so for decades to come. This is a stupendous work of scholarship. Robin Waterfield in The Heythrop Journal LI (2010)
This is a detailed, technical study of a single text. [...] the ideal reader is interested in the pragmatics of Greek prose, the history of Greek punctuation, Plato's style, or textual criticism (the establishment of a text from its sources) -- preferably all of these. For such a reader the book is fascinating.[...]Readers interested in Plato's style [...], or in the grammar, pragmatics, or editing of classical Greek prose, surely will not be [diappointed]. Anne Mahoney in LINGUIST 2009.1.15
