This paper provides a comprehensive review of A. Ph. Segonds' two-volume edition of Proclus' commentary on Plato's "Alcibiades I". It highlights the significant scholarship involved in addressing the transmission and authorship issues of the Hippolytan corpus, evaluates Segonds' contributions to the understanding of the Neoplatonic tradition, and compares the accuracy and readability of his translation with previous works. The review emphasizes the value of Segonds' work for scholars and students interested in Neoplatonism, particularly concerning the commentary's incomplete nature and the contextual insights provided by extensive parallels from other Neoplatonic texts.
