Review
"Kalkavage's translation and commentary provide invaluable assistance to students of Plato's Timaeus. The translation is accurate, but readable. And Kalkavage packs a great deal of relevant historical, musical, and mathematical information into his notes."
—Catherine Zuckert, Nancy Reeves Dreux Professor of Political Science, University of Notre Dame
