Iamblichus' Life of Pythagoras by Thomas Taylor Pdf

Authentic memoirs of the life of Pythagoras--the father of philosophy and the inventor of geometry--hold the great interest for every lover of wisdom. Iamblichus' biography is universally acknowledged as deriving from sources of the highest antiquity. Its classic translation by Thomas Taylor was first printed in 1818 and is once again brought to light in this edition. During Iamblichus' life, the depth and sublimity of his writing and discourse attracted a multitude of associates and disciples from all parts of the world. The Emperor Julian wrote of him, "that he was posterior indeed in time, but not in genius, to Plato," and all the Platonists who succeeded him honored him with the epithet of "divine." Iamblichus' account of the life of Pythagoras begins with the great philosopher's birth on the island of Samos, his youth, and his wide renown in Greece. It briefly covers his early travels and his studies with the philosophers Anaximander and Thales, his twenty-two years of instruction in the temples of Egypt, and his initiation into the Egyptian and Babylonian mysteries. The later life and work of Pythagoras are richly elaborated, with humorous and profound anecdotes illustrating his philosophy and providing a unique view of community life under his tutelage in Crotona. Included are excerpts from his teachings on harmonic science, dietetic medicine, friendship, temperance, politics, parenthood, the soul's former lives and many other topics. The book also contains substantial sections on the Fragments of the Ethical Writings (the work of very early Pythagoreans) and the Pythagoric Sentences.

The Life of Pythagoras, Or Pythagoric Life by Thomas Taylor Pdf

The present volume is a verbatim reproduction of Thomas Taylor's translation of Iamblichus's "Life of Pythagoras," originally published in 1818. 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. 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. 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. Iamblichus's biography is a text that may be read straight through, or piece by piece, or one selection at a time. 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. In addition to the Life of Pythagoras, Taylor included several other Pythagorean texts in his original publication. We have included these, along with few additional translations which he himself approved as worthy of study. Texts included in both the 1818 and present volumes are as follows: 1. 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. 2. 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). Additional texts included in the present volume, which have been added as an Appendix, are as follows: 1. Taylor's translation of "The Pythagoric Sentences of Demophilus." 2. Two translations from William Bridgman: "The Similitudes of Demophilus" and "The Golden Sentences of Democrates." 3. William Bridgman's translation of "The Pythagoric Symbols, with the Explanations of Iamblichus," with edits drawn from Taylor's own translation of several of the symbols and explanations, which were included in the original 1818 publication of this Life of Pythagoras. The latter translations being added to the present volume provides the reader with a fine collection of truly Pythagorean texts, covering the major themes and topics of their teachings. This ought to give the liberal reader enough to gain a footing into the central doctrines and practices of the Pythagoreans, and these will further aid in a study of the Platonic and Orphic texts, all of which rightly belong together. In this present edition, the formatting of the original has been changed in order to render the text more easily readable. The copious footnotes found in the original have been collected and placed in order at the end of the Life of Pythagoras, followed by Taylor's Additional Notes. In the margins we have added the pagination of the original edition, so that all references made to the original over the intervening centuries may be easily traced in the present volume, despite its altered pagination. Besides these changes, and minor changes in formatting style, the text has not been altered, except in cases where certain Greek characters were in need of modernization.
