The Coimbra meeting of 2002 was devoted to the fragments of Plutarch, and the results of that event were published one year later, in a volume edited by José Ribeiro Ferreira and Delfim Leão, under the title Os fragmentos de Plutarco e a recepção da sua obra (Coimbra, 2003). During the following years, many other universities organized conferences of the Réseau on a rotating basis, until the event came back to Coimbra, where the Portuguese section of the International Plutarch Society (SoPlutarco) hosted, from 16 to 18 June 2011, the twelfth meeting of the network, devoted this time to the subject “Nomos, kosmos and dike in Plutarch”. The present volume comprises most of the contributions presented during the Coimbra meeting, after having been submitted to a process of revision, which involved the direct collaboration of the several regional sections of the Réseau. Although the volume kept the multilingual diversity of the participants in the conference, its structuring elements were composed in English, in order to reinforce the coherence of the book and to enlarge the number of potential readers. In its final form, the volume is organized in four different sections. The first one is devoted tostate smen and lawgivers, and comprises five contributions. Aurelio Pérez Jiménez (Málaga), in “Nomos como criterio de valoración ética en las Vidas Paralelas”, explores the concepts of law and justice as literary expedients, used by Plutarch to highlight the virtuous or despotic character of such legislators as Lycurgus, Numa and Solon. Mónica Durán Mañas (Madrid), in “Pericles, ¿un modelo de dikaiosyne?”, discusses the ambivalent interpretation of the term dikaiosyne, with a particular focus I Versão integral disponível em digitalis.uc.pt on the Life of Pericles. Joaquim Pinheiro (Madeira), in “O sentido de dike nas biografias de Aristides e Catão Censor”, analyzes the idea of dike (and other terms with the same etymological root, especially dikaiosyne) in the shaping of Aristides’ and Cato’s ethos, considering their respective roles as individual citizens and as members of a wider community. Inés Calero Secall (Málaga), in her study “Plutarco y su interpretación de algunas leyes griegas concernientes a la familia y propiedad”, discusses the part of Solon’s legislation that deals with family affairs and with damages inflicted by animals, suggesting that Plutarch’s mistakes in interpreting them are due to a lack of chronological or juridical accuracy. Ália Rodrigues (Coimbra), in “Political reforms in the Lives of Lycurgus and Numa: divine revelation or political lie?”, examines the way the topos of divine inspiration is used by Plutarch in the presentation of the legislative activity of Lycurgus and Numa (a trait also detectable in the tradition of personalities like Minos, Zaleucus and Zoroaster), concluding that they correspond to an artificial way of legitimating authority rather than to a genuine expression of divine intervention. The second section is dedicated to the relation between nomos and kosmos. Carlos A. Martins de Jesus (Coimbra) devotes his study “Kosmos and its derivatives in the Plutarchan works on love” to the different meanings of kosmos (and other etymologically related terms), seeking to reach an integrated understanding of them in Plutarch’s works dealing more directly with love. Nuno Simões Rodrigues (Lisboa), in “Nomos e kosmos na caracterização do António e da Cleópatra de Plutarco”, analyzes the way the characterization of Mark Antony and Cleopatra is reflected in the reluctance to use words related with law and order throughout this biography. Aldo Setaioli (Perugia), in “The daimon in Timarchus’ cosmic vision (Plu. De Genio Socr. 22, 590B-592E)”, examines Plutarch’s efforts to harmonize the different perspectives of Plato concerning the personal daimon, in a way that foreshadows later developments unfolding in Plotinus. Finally, Stefano Amendola (Salerno), in his study “Un nomos atopos? Gli Efori e i baffi degli Spartani. Nota esegetica Dea sera num. vind. 4.550B”, analyzes an ‘atypical law’ concerning the Spartan Ephors by applying an exegetic approach to this passage in comparison with two other fragments (Aristotle fr. 539 Rose and Plu. fr. 90 Sandbach). The third section is organized under the topic of the path to Dike. Francesco Becchi (Firenze), with the paper “La nozione di giustizia nel suo sviluppo storico: la giustizia come valore primario del pensiero etico e politico di Plutarco”, studies the ideal of justice, a principle that is present in Greek thought since Homer, and finds its most elaborated expression in Plato and Aristotle, whose doctrines are interpreted by Plutarch, through the lens of modern Stoicism and posterior Aristotelianism, in order to present dike as one of the most perfect virtues and highest expressions of humanity. Paola Volpe II Versão integral disponível em digitalis.uc.pt Cacciatore (Salerno), in “La giustizia del saggio: una polemica di Plutarco contro gli Stoici”, discusses as well the virtues of justice and their interpretation by Plutarch (especially in fragments 35-35 Sandbach), in comparison with Plato, Aristotle, and Stoic philosophy. Miguel Herrero de Jáuregui (Madrid), in “Dike y otras deidades justicieras en la obra de Plutarco”,
