Dr Panagiotis Bernardakis, the Plutarch editor’s grandson, and Professor Dr Heinz Gerd Ingenkamp from Bonn University have decided to publish a new version of Gregorios N Bernardakis’ Plutarch edition. This includes the more recent complete edition of the Moralia, the Teubneriana and in the second place the Budé edition. They believe that Bernardakis is superior concerning the decision for textual criticism, i.e. in the choice of versions to be included in the text. This is shown especially by the complete misjudgement of the more recent editors, concerning the Codex Parisinus 1956, D. In an essay for the “Ploutarchos” Professor Ingenkamp has already given his view on this matter. The text can be found on this website. Bernardakis’ personal notes for his planned second edition are of the utmost importance for this new edition with the planned title "Bernardakis II", also mentioned as "Bern.II".

In contrast to the previous "editio minor" Bernardakis planned a larger "editio maior" with a more extensive textually critical apparatus as well as Testimonia and Similia apparatus. In a preface to their edition the editors of Bern.II explains in detail the way the provided materials are used.

The first, second and third volume of G. N. Bernardakis´ up to now unpublished editio maior of Plutarch´s Moralia have now been published by the Academy of Athens. You or your bookseller may order Volume I (ISBN 978-960-404-128-2), II (ISBN 978-960-404-142-8) and III (ISBN 978-960-404-193-0) for the price of Euro 50.-, Euro 55.- and Euro 60.- respectively, at the following three bookstores in Greece:
