The volume is divided into three sections: ‘Early Developments in Reception’ (four chapters); ‘Early Imperial Reception’ (nine chapters); and ‘Early Christianity and Late Antique Platonism’ (eighteen chapters). Sectional introductions cover matters of importance that could not easily be covered in dedicated chapters. The book demonstrates the great variety of approaches to and interpretations of Plato among even his most dedicated ancient readers, offering some salutary lessons for his modern readers too.Brill's companions to classical reception ;Volume 13.2213-1426.184Tarrant HaroldMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823545903321Brill's companion to the reception of Plato in antiquity1554408UNINA
