description: Translated by Thomas Taylor Introductory Preface by Manly P. Hall Sallust was a Neoplatonic philosopher who flourished in the fourth century A.D. and is said to have written the present work for the benefit of Emperor Julian. Taylor's added notes and commentaries give valuable insights into the essential meaning, which is often obscure in the actual texts. This volume also includes translations of The Pythagoric Sentences of Demophilus and Proclus' Five Hymns, along with Five Hymns by Thomas Taylor; it is a photographic facsimile of the extremely scarce original edition of 1795.
