Schreiber 201: "Henri Estienne's monumental edition of Plato, the first complete edition, which for two centuries remained the indispensable instrument of Platonic studies, to this day its pagination is universally accepted as the standard system of reference to the text of Plato ... Of all Henri Estienne's publications the Plato is perhaps the most lavishly decorated: besides numerous woodcut initials, culs-de-lampe, and a striking, elaborate title-device, it is the only publication in which Estienne used his entire series of decorative headpieces. Although this sumptuous Plato further contributed to Estienne's financial ruin, it is also the work which most contributed to his fame."
