A Compendium of Information About Pythagoras, Pythagoreans, and Neopythagoreans

Peter Kingsley, PhD, provides a comprehensive history of Pythagoreans. There is an excellent article by Lisa Spencer about the Neopythagoreans at the Porta Maggiore in Rome. Melanie Richards, M. Music, gives a detailed look at Pythagoras and music. High McCague, PhD, provides a detailed look at Pythagoreans and sculptors in regards to the Canon of Polykleitos. There is an excellent article by Jeanne Guesdon about inner learning through the power of silence. There is a plethora of books provided in an annotated bibliography by the Rosicrucian Research Library staff. There is a great deal more information on this topic in this issue. It is a combination of introductory and intermediate articles. It's a great read that's well worth the effort.
