Abstract

This is a compilation of the occasional statements on translation made by a remarkable, and too little known, translator, Stephen MacKenna (1872–1935). MacKenna made it his life's work to translate into English the copious Annales of the Greek Neoplatonist philosopher Plotinus. In its time his translation, published 1917–1930 and still in print today, received the highest praise.
