The contributors to this carefully focussed volume cover aspects of the background to the work; its arguments and the philosophical issues it raises; its relationship to other Platonic texts, and its subsequent history up to the time of the Neoplatonists. Despite its ancient prominence, the authorship of \u003ci\u003eAlcibiades I\u003c\/i\u003e is still unsettled; the essays and two appendices, one historical and one stylometric, come together to suggest answers to this tantalising question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781472504463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40621741441230,"sku":"9781472504463","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_d84f95b2-4a02-4e71-887a-ad2070df36ba.jpg?v=1638495635","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781472504463","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
