"Johann Gottfried Jakob Stallbaum (1793—1861) was a renowned classicist and rector at the Thomasschule in Leipzig. He is best remembered for his definitive mid-19th-century academic editions of Plato's complete works. Stallbaum’s major contribution to Platonic scholarship was his extensive inclusion of detailed Latin prolegomena (introductions) and critical commentaries for each dialogue, paired with the authentic Ancient Greek text."
