Sallust was a Neoplatonic philosopher who is said to have written this work for the Emperor Julian in the 4th Century AD. Taylor’s added notes and commentary give valuable insight into the text’s essential meaning. Includes translations of The Pythagoric Sentences of Demophilius and Proclus’ Five Hymns.
Thomas Taylor (1758-1835), was an 18th century translator whose writings influenced the likes of William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Wordsworth, G. R. S. Mead, & Mme. Helena Blavatsky. Manly P. Hall deeply admired Taylor for the Herculean and often thankless task of translating previously untranslated Greek philosophy.
