The Gyldendal publishing house together with Copenhagen University Saxo Institute present the first out of six volumes
of Plato’s collected dialogues, all of them to be published by 2014 in Danish.
Thirty scientists have contributed to this effort which constitutes a modern collection with additional guiding material for
the reader such as maps and indexes. The most recent translation of Plato’s complete work in Danish dates back to 80 years ago.
Since then, the Danish language has evolved and translation methods have changed.
The first volume of the new edition was published on November 5 and the same da
the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum hosted a book presentation at the museum’s ionic style central hall.
