Referencing Plato's Republic
It is customary to refer to Plato's works by reference to the
pages of
an early edition (that of Stephanus 1578) each page being
sub-divided into
approximately equal segments, designated a-e.
The page numbers I am using in this web edition are the
Stephanus page
numbers. If you click on these brown words, they will take you
to an
example
I suggest you reference Plato's Republic like this: (Plato,
year of edition
used, p.) If Stephanus page numbers are available, use them
and say in the
bibliography that you have done so.
So, if using the Dent 1993 edition:- A reference would be:
(Plato 1993 p.-)
The bibliography entry will be:
Plato, 1993, The Republic, Dent/Everyman,
Translated by A.D. Lindsay. Stephanus page numbers from
margins used.
To reference
this web copy, I suggest the same pattern:
References to (Plato, 1901, p.)
The bibliography entry will be:
Plato, 1901, The Republic, Translation of Benjamin
Jowett, web
edition at <http://studymore.org.uk/xpla0.htm>
Stephanus page numbers used.
