IAMBLICHUS’ LIFE OF PYTHAGORAS, OR PYTHAGORIC LIFE.
Thomas Taylor translation
ACCOMPANIED BY FRAGMENTS OF THE ETHICAL WRITINGS OF CERTAIN PYTHAGOREANS IN THE DORIC DIALECT; AND A Collection of Pythagoric Sentences FROM STOBÆUS AND OTHERS, WHICH ARE OMITTED BY GALE IN HIS OPUSCULA MYTHOLOGICA, AND HAVE NOT BEEN NOTICED BY ANY EDITOR.
TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK.
BY THOMAS TAYLOR.
Approach ye genuine philosophic few, The Pythagoric Life belongs to you: But far, far off ye vulgar herd profane; For Wisdom’s voice is heard by you in vain: And you, Mind’s lowest link, and darksome end, Good Rulers, Customs, Laws, alone can mend.
