Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This translation and commentary is based on the Critical Text and
Indices of Proclus: Commentary on the First Alcibiades of Plato,
Amsterdam 1954, by L. G. Westerink. Index II has been of great help
in the translation, and the commentary is much indebted to the
critical apparatus. Dr. Westerink has also been kind enough to
forward his views on the relatively few problems which the Greek
text has presented. A further debt is owed to the review of Dr.
Westerink's text by Prof. E. R. Dodds in GNOMON 1955 p. 164-1,
chiefly for some references and some emendations to the Greek text.
W. R. M. Lamb's Loeb translation of Alcibiades I has helped
considerably in construing the lemmata, which Signor Antonio
Carlini has found to have been inserted by a later hand from a
Plato MSS. of the W family. Evidence for this is their discrepancy
with the text as read in the main body of the commentary (d. Studi
Classici e Orientali, vol. x, Pisa 1961). On the personal side, the
whole work has received the benefit of constant advice from Prof.
A. H. Armstrong. It was he who first suggested the undertaking, and
he has been kind enough to read through the translation and
commentary, making many corrections and helpful suggestions. In
particular lowe him the parallels with Plotinus and thanks for a
Socratic patience in my more obtuse moments.
This is the first English translation of Proclus' commentary on
Plato's Parmenides. Glenn Morrow's death occurred while he was less
than halfway through the translation, which was completed by John
Dillon. A major work of the great Neoplatonist philosopher, the
commentary is an intellectual tour de force that greatly influenced
later medieval and Renaissance thought. As the notes and
introductory summaries explain, it comprises a full account of
Proclus' own metaphysical system, disguised, as is so much
Neoplatonic philosophy, in the form of a commentary.
