The Manly Hall Manuscript Collection, Volume I

Note on This Edition

Prepared for Diotimos Editions in 2026. The editorial structure takes guidance from the supplied Charmides edition and the earlier Stobaeus and Ficino Platonic Theology editions: an original introduction, paired source and translation, explanatory footnotes, an outline, and a glossary.

The transcription, translation, and explanatory matter were prepared with AI assistance from the digitized witness. Difficult readings were enlarged and revisited, and selected passages received an additional reading. This is a single-witness edition. The comparable Amsterdam and Paris manuscripts establish a context for the title; a systematic collation of their variants has not been undertaken.

The source photographs remain available for checking the text. A future edition can refine qualified readings and compare the surviving witnesses while preserving the stable references used here.
