The present volume is a verbatim reproduction of Thomas Taylor\'s translation of Iamblichus\'s "Life of Pythagoras," originally published in 1818.
Two translations from William Bridgman: "The Similitudes of Demophilus" and "The Golden S.
Taylor\'s translation of "The Pythagoric Sentences of Demophilus." 2.
Additional texts included in the present volume, which have been added as an Appendix, are as follows: 1.
His collection of the "Fragments of the Ethical Writings of Certain Pythagoreans." From the latter has been removed his rendering of the "Sentences of Sextus" (see editor\'s note in Taylor\'s introduction). 2.
Taylor\'s introduction and his translation of the Life of Pythagoras along with his Notes and Additional Notes, which shed much light on the subjects dealt with in the biography.
Texts included in both the 1818 and present volumes are as follows: 1.
We have included these, along with few additional translations which he himself approved as worthy of study.
In addition to the Life of Pythagoras, Taylor included several other Pythagorean texts in his original publication.
Much can be learned from even a basic perusal of the contents of any selected chapter, and many fine quotes on specific topics will be found by using the detailed contents to locate them.
Iamblichus\'s biography is a text that may be read straight through, or piece by piece, or one selection at a time.
To aid the reader in seeking out specific doctrines or ideas, we have provided a list of detailed contents for each chapter of the biography.
Many sound teachings on justice, non-violence, temperance, forebearance, and other virtues are given herein, along with teachings on lifestyle, community, politics and family life.
Iamblichus\'s biography does more than simply outline Pythagoras\'s life, but also provides many insights into the doctrines he taught, his methods of teaching, and perhaps most importantly, the lifestyle he promoted among his students: a lifestyle as applicable today as ever before.
The present volume is a verbatim reproduction of Thomas Taylor\'s translation of Iamblichus\'s "Life of Pythagoras," originally published in 1818
