Plato's Theaetetus and Sophist are two of his most important dialogues, and are widely read and discussed by philosophers for what they reveal about his epistemology and particularly his accounts of belief and knowledge.

The supporting introduction and notes help the reader to follow the arguments as they develop, explaining their structure, context and interpretation.

I entirely agree.
