Note

A collection of the Greek texts from Mount Athos was sponsored by Lorenzo di Medici; the work is dedicated to his son Pope Leo X.
An interesting feature of the preface is that it refers to America "En potes iam ab Indis incipere, aliis populis, quos in oceano occidentali Hispani superioribus annis invenere" -- "Look: you can now begin [converting to Catholicism] the Indians, with other peoples whom the Spanish discovered in the Western Ocean" (trans. N.G. Wilson).
Colophon: Venetiis, in aedib. Aldi, et Andreae Soceri, mense Septembri. M. D. XIII.
Edited by Marcus Musurus and Aldus Manutius.
First edition in Greek.
Of this edition Aldo wrote: "Etsi opere in magno fas est, obrepere somnum -- non enim unius diei labor hic noster, sed multorum annorum, atque interim nec mora nec requies --, sic tamen doleo, ut, si possem, mutarem singula errata numo aureo." That is: "...[A]lthough it is reasonable that sleep should creep up in the course of a big job -- our task is not for a single day but for many years and 'there is no rest or respite' in the meantime -- I feel so upset that I would redeem each error, if I could, with a gold coin (trans. N.G. Wilson).
Includes a life of Plato by Diogenes Laertius.
