HENRY MORE Democritus Platonissans -1646 Introduction by P. G.

Democritus Platonissans, OR,

AN ESSAY UPON THE INFINITY OF WORLDS OUT OF Platonick

This text includes characters that require UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding, primarily Greek and a few words of Hebrew:

Ἀγαθὸς ἦν τὸ πᾶν τόδε ὁ συνιστὰς

... which is שׁמים

If any of these characters do not display properly—in particular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter—or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font. All Greek and Hebrew includes mouse-hover transliterations, as above. Longer Greek passages are broken up at punctuation.

Page and folio numbers in [brackets] were added by the transcriber. Verso (even, left-hand) pages are marked as "".

Unless otherwise noted, spelling, punctuation and capitalization in the primary text are unchanged. The distinction between u (vowel) and v (consonant) is as in the original. Typographical errors are shown with mouse-hover popups.
