First sentence: In his Introduction to the "Life of Pythagoras" Taylor writes: "That the following memoirs of Pythagoras by Iamblichus, who died about 330 A. D., are authentic, is acknowledged by all his critics, as they are, for the most part, obviously derived from sources of very high antiquity; and, where the sources are unknown, there is every reason to believe, from the great worth and respectability of the biographer, that the information is perfectly accurate and true."
