1557Best.-Nr. 3087Venice: Comin da Trino 1557. Graesse V.325 giving 1558 imprint; a second issue; the Italian Union Catalogue Catalogo Unico lists only 5 copies in Italian libraries. Rare first Italian-language edition of this Platonic dialogue somewhat anomalous in the Platonic corpus because of its extended treatment of the nature of physical matter and cosmology and a favorite among Renaissance readers for its myth of Atlantis which influenced other Renaissance utopias. The 1550s or thereabouts saw the first Italian translation of the most popular Platonic dialogues whether directly from Greek as here or via Ficinos Latin translation; the prestige of Ficinos Latin translation and wider readership for the original Greek probably explains why this Italian edition came so relatively late. The edition was translated by the littérateur Sebastiano Erizzo 1525-1585 a prolific writer of poetry fiction and belles lettres who provides some commentary in the way of printed marginal annotations; he would later translate a further selection of dialogues into Italian in which the Timaeus was reprinted 1574.

Born at Athens of a noble family Plato aspired to political activity. Dismayed at the inequities of the Athenian tyranny and later at the execution of his teacher Socrates under the democracy he turned towards philosophy in search of an alternative to the unstable and unjust public life of the time. He also sought unity behind the changing impressions of the visible universe.All Plato's writing except for The Apology and the Letters is in dialogue form.The Apology records Socrates' defense at his trial. These dialogues are philosophically inconclusive but are considered best to represent the historical Socrates." BenÈt's Reader's Encyclopedia810. "Phaedo a dialogue by Plato. In it Phaedo a disciple of Socrates describes the last hour of his teacher's life. Socrates and his friends discuss the possibility of the immortality of the soul.

Later black cloth preserving the original illustrated wraps; pp. 156 with illustrations by Vidberg. "Within the discursive world created by the Soviet mass spectacles the event announces itself as new by virtue of its shift from the individual to the mass and the instigation of a collective subject as both the subject and object of the drama. In this way it distinguishes itself from the old 'pre-modern' society. More specifically it took the pre-revolutionary Symbolist utopias of 'ritual theatre' whose formulation was largely a response to the abortive 1905 revolution and recast their 'people' as the proletariat" Kleberg 1980 44-64. Platon Kerzhentsev's THE CREATIVE THEATRE was the most influential formulation in this direction -- his book was in its fourth edition by 1920. The October revolution had he claimed provided the social base for the realization of the ritual community valorized by the Symbolists; by the time of the fourth edition he was able to claim that "much of what seemed a utopia two years ago now appears to be on the way to becoming reality" Kleberg 1980 62. "This claim was based on the explosion of mass spectacles that had occurred in the intervening years" Smith "Meyerhold Mass Theatre and Fascism". The theory for Soviet mass spectacles.
