One of the texts I read for an essay this year. I just finally found the time to finish it! Goes over what we know (or really don‘t know) about Pythagoras and briefly reviews Pythagoreans and forms of Pythagoreanism (and main influential concepts) that followed, up to the early modern period but focusing mainly on antiquity. A good book and good starting point if you‘re interested in the topic.

7/10
