The first edition of Plato’s Euthyphro dialogues, as published by Rinuccio Aretino (ca. 1440-1443), is based on the sole extant version, most likely a contemporary treatise, which allows the editor, thanks to the identification of the Greek text upon which it is based, to revisit with better precision the business of translating this minor representative of early Humanism, who was a first-rate intellectual and scholar, alongside Poggio Bracciolini and Lorenzo Valla.

Sometime around the 1460s, Lorenzo Lippi (1442 ca.-1485), during his own education as a humanist in Florence, prepared the first Latin version of Plato’s Ion as published by the editio princeps. The text, full of anomalies, passes down the account of a sole hand-written testimony, never before published: Ficino, a friend of Lippi, still retained it for his own version of the dialogue.
