4.0 out of 5 stars
The best philological and literary ed. of Parmenides.,
By mac47@cornell.edu (Ithaca, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fragments of Parmenides: A Critical Text With Introduction, and Translation, the Ancient Testimonia and a Commentary (Hardcover)
Coxon's project sounds modest: "a simple text with fuller critical apparatus, with epic parallels, a revised collection of testimonia, introduction, and commentary." In the event, Coxon's wide-ranging knowledge of early Greek poetry does more than just provide epic parallels. It makes his opinions on the numerous textual cruces more persuasive and his philosophical interpretation more sound. Throughout, he steers clear of the mysticism and allusive eclecticism that has plagued many other interpreters of Parmenides' poem. Coxon's Parmenides is a monument of scholarship, a work no lover of Presocratic thought can afford to ignore.

Tha fragments of Parmenides,
By Marc Rius "MRR" (Barcelona, Spain) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Fragments of Parmenides: A Critical Text With Introduction and Translation, the Ancient Testimonia and a Commentary (Paperback)
This is the standard critical edition for the remains of Parmenides poem. Even if it can't be considered the definitive edition of Parmenides, it supersedes all previous editions. A wonderful book, beautifully edited.
