Reviews
Students of Plato will greatly benefit from this book. Indeed, anyone working on the Laws should own this . . . excellent book. In my opinion, it is currently the best English translation of Books 1 and 2 of the Laws. Meyer's book will greatly help readers sort out the various difficult and obscure passages that pervade these two books. * Nicholas R. Baima, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * up to now, readers looking for a philosophically sensitive commentary on the work in English have had nowhere to turn . . . Susan Sauvé Meyer has begun to fill this lacuna with her excellent volume on Books I-II, a work that will put all serious students of the Laws into her considerable debt. It should also lead us to look forward eagerly to her continuation of the project in a future volume on Books III-V. * David J. Riesbeck, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
