About this book
Pythagoras' life as told by the philosopher Iamblichus reaches English here through Thomas Taylor's translation, printed in London in 1818. Thirty-six chapters follow the life of the Greek sage. Taylor adds fragments of ethical treatises by Pythagoreans such as Archytas, Hippodamus, Theages and Metopus, preserved in the Doric dialect, with collected Pythagoric sentences from Stobaeus, Sextus and Iamblichus himself, and additional notes. His introduction defends Iamblichus as a trustworthy biographer against modern critics.
