The Anonymous Prolegomena is fascinating work from the Alexandrian School’s late period, clearly designed as an introductory overview suitable for newcomers to the late Platonic schools. The areas covered include – the life of Plato and his motives for writing, the characteristics of Platonic philosophy, and the dialogues – their elements, titles, divisions, methods of presentation, rules for establishing their central theme, and their order of study. A reprint with minor updates of L G Westerink’s 1962 original text, translation and notes.
