Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Plotini Enneades, Vol. 1: Praemisso Porphyrii De Vita Plotini Deque Ordine Librorum Eius Libello
Ne lectores philos0phiae antiquae studiosi hanc novem Plotini editionem cupidius in manus sumant eamque spe sua decepti propter exiguum fructum ex meo labore ad ipsorum studia redundantem mox in dignabundi rursus deponent, praemonendi sunt me ipsum, quamvis inde ab adulescentia. In legendo, interpre tando emendandoque Plotino multum Operae et temporis consumpserim, tamen de nova. Difficillimi scriptoris pa randa. Editione nunquam cogitasse, neque cogitaturuin unquam fuisse. Verum cum divenditis Kirchhoffianae editionis exemplaribus honestissimus bibli0pola, Sosio rum decus, Platonioorum principem inter bibliotheose Teubnerianae scriptores desiderari nollet, mihique re cogmscendae, quod dicunt, editionis illins honorificum munus detulisset ita, ut novas librorum collationes non ipse instituerem, sed uterer peratis, consiliìs eius cum alias ob causes tum propter ipsum scriptorem, cuius ad emendationem si non multum at certe nonnihil me allaturum esse sperabam, deesse nolui. Suscepto autem munere qu0modo perfunctus sim, paucis expediam.
