This paper discusses the status of Xenocrates in the history of the text of the Platonic corpus, based on his general philosophical agenda. After spelling out in what sense one could say that Xenocrates produced an edition of the Platonic corpus, I argue that Xenocrates had enough motivation to organize an edition with definitive texts and to define the composition of a Platonic corpus, but that it is unclear what arrangement Xenocrates may have imposed on the corpus
