Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Collection of Essays and Tracts in Theology, Vol. 2: From Various Biographical and Critical Notices Although Whitby´s life was lengthened to nearly a century, yet very few facts concerning him are found recorded, except such as may be gleaned from his own writings. And these exhibit little more, so far as he is personally concerned, than a history of his opinions. Biographers have too often been compelled to repeat the remark, that the life of a scholar is seldom fruitful of incidents; but rarely, in the annals of hterature, has the truth of this remark been more evident, than in the instance of Whitby. Thirty years before his death, Anthony Wood, in the Athenæ Oxonienses, wrote a brief account of his life and writings up to that period; and this has served as the basis, and sometimes has furnished the materials of the entire structure, for succeeding biographers. To the second edition of Whitby´s Last Thoughts, printed after his death, Dr Sykes prefixed a short notice of the author, which contained little else, than a repetition of Wood´s account, and the titles and dates of all Whitby´s works.
