Magnificent work! And that is one good looking collection brother.

It is always inspiring to read about those who dedicated themselves, often at great personal cost, to achieve things that transcend time. The level of conviction and fortitude it must have taken to overcome the pressures and ridicule of his peers to pursue his Great Work is nothing short of impressive, ultimately culminating in his efforts carrying beyond his own existence. I am not much familiar with his works but the individual you described here sounds like someone I would very much have enjoyed meeting. Excellent work Brother, I now need to find some books and more hours in the day to explore them...

Saving for later can’t wait to read!

Thank you brother! I hope you enjoy it. Your work was a big inspiration for dipping my toes into some biographical writing.

Well you certainly gave him an excellent treatment. I am relieved that I can just defer to your essay for these details! Brilliant work.

Truly remarkable. Thank you for this exhaustive piece. Thomas Taylor remains for me one of those humbling figures who make me feel like an unproductive imbecile, yet to whom I wish to conform better. Unlikely to learn Greek at this date, but perhaps I will wrestle with more of his great work. A rare soul.

How similar we are.

I won’t collect all of them but there were a few select works of his I am glad to have.
