“We neede not speak so much of love, al books are ful of love, with so many authours, that it were labour lost to speake of Love.” John Florio, First Fruites, Discourses uppon Musicke, and Love, 1578



About the impact of John Florio’s translation of Montaigne’s Essays on English cultural life, Frances Yates cites T. S. Eliot:

“So important an authority on style as Mr. T.S. Eliot puts the Montaigne above Plutarch and so second only to the Bible. It holds and will always hold an assured place among the English classics.“

L. Tassinari
