Cornford, Francis MacDonald
Francis Macdonald Cornford (1874-1943) was an English classical scholar and a Professor of Ancient
Philosophy at Cambridge, who published a number of books on his subject.
In 1935, he published a translation of Plato’s Timaeus including a commentary with the full title of Plato’s Cosmology: The Timaeus of Plato Translated with a Running Commentary[852]+.
Cornford was a confirmed Atlantis sceptic, remarking that “serious scholars now agree that Atlantis probably owed its existence entirely to Plato’s imagination.”
Kessinger Publishing issued a reprint of his commentary as recently as 2005.
