Taylor, Thomas (Translator). The Dissertations of Maximus Tyrius. Frome, Somerset: Prometheus Trust, 1994. Reprint. Quarto, xi, 344pp. Original purple cloth with gilt lettering on spine. ‘”The Dissertation of Maximus Tyrius’ was originally published by Thomas Taylor in 184 in two volumes; the forty-one surviving dissertations by this little-known author shine, not only with his love of philosophy, but also with a well-trained rhetorician’s delivery…. the discourses herein abound with thought-provoking excursions through questions that are as necessary to consider today as they were when Maximus the Tyrian wrote about them with such vigor and learning, some eighteen centuries ago” (from the publisher).
