Individual volumes also include supplementary material appropriate to the text or editor. Helene Casanova-Robin oversees the collection, which “se situe entre les ouvrages pédagogiques universitaires et les travaux scientifiques spécialisés.” 1 Based on the two volumes I’ve worked with, 2 I think they have succeeded in their goal of allowing “un public relativement large d’accéder à une lecture scientifique et approfondie des œuvres.” All Commentario volumes include an introduction, Greek or Latin text, facing French translation, and commentary. ![]() Since no reviews of the series have appeared yet in BMCR, I’ll begin by saying a little about Commentario. This volume is the eleventh, and most recent, in the relatively new Commentario series from Les Belles Lettres. All readers will benefit from the roadmap of the dialogue’s arguments that the authors sketch in the introduction and discuss in the commentary. ![]() More advanced readers will be grateful for the new Greek text, full critical apparatus, the thirty-page section of “Notes Textuelles,” and the ample references to additional primary and secondary resources. Students and scholars from other fields will appreciate the introduction and the French translation. With this new edition and commentary on Plato’s Ion, Ferroni and Macé have done several types of readers a great service. ![]()
