Just to be persnickety -Porphyry lived from 234? to 305? BC - Thomas Taylor
from 1758 - 1835 AD
so this is what Taylor has to say about Porphyry.

I think reading Taylor could be very interesting but why approach Aristotle from
someone else's point of view? Especially a neo-platonist.
What I am doing is trying to find my copy of the Categories and I have also
started a search for the Taylor book [that is; a library to check out the book]
as it does seem to be an interesting book. I do appreciate the google link.
That is good for reading short excerpts; but, for me, not extensive reading.
