@wiltshireuk.bsky.social thanks for the follow! I’m always happy reading more about Wiltshire. I spent some great times there during grad school doing research on the life and times of Thomas Hobbes, who of course is from Malmesbury.

Thomas Hobbes translated Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War from Greek into English. His translation was published in 1629. Imagine people being this deeply educated today being the ones who influence contemporary thought instead of “influencers.”
