Whilst acknowledging the immense editorial work and specific contributions of the three editors, it is also appropriate, in the context of scholarly collegiality, to mention the contributions made by Leo Catana, Martin Schwyzer, Richard Dufour, Elena Corrigan, Christopher Armstrong, Greg Shaw, Georges Leroux, Gary Gurtler, Luc Brisson, Gerard O'Daly, Michael Atkinson and Paul Kalligas. Although at times one could have wished for a fuller picture of this great enterprise, it is clear that the material which the editors had at their disposal was incomplete. From such incomplete and often fortuitous survivals, as is always the case when writing about those who care more about contributing to the advance of our understanding than about managing their 'legacy', the editors have managed to create a compelling account, a rich source of hitherto inaccessible comment on the Enneads, and a worthy celebration of the achievement of a previous generation of Plotinian scholars.

S. Stern-Gillet, K. Corrigan and J. C. Baracat orchestrate into a harmonious and sophisticated whole the polyphony and complexity of the archival material carefully gathered, annotated and further enriched thanks to the noteworthy contributions of an international team of outstanding specialists in Neoplatonism.

This is a remarkable book and one that will prove deeply interesting, and even entertaining, to at least that (admittedly rather limited) body of persons who have an interest in the philosopher Plotinus and specifically in the history of the production of the definitive edition of his works by Paul Henry (1906–84) and Hans-Rudolf Schwyzer (1908–93) back in the middle of the last century – to be precise, Plotini Opera (editio maior), Vol. I in 1951, Vol. II in 1959 and Vol. III in 1973, with the editio minor (viz. the Oxford text) following in 1964, 1977 and 1982. [...] All in all, a fascinating treasure-trove of material relative to this great edition and its authors, very well edited by Stern-Gillet, with much technical help, it seems, from Baracat. The volume is completed by a most useful index locorum and an index nominum.
