The Old, Old, Very Old Man tells the remarkable story of Thomas Parr, a man renowned for his exceptional longevity. Re-printed in type facsimile, this account, originally written by John Taylor, explores the life and times of Parr, known as ’Old Tom Parr,’ who purportedly lived to be over 150 years old. This fascinating biographical sketch delves into the details of Parr’s daily life, habits, and the historical context in which he lived. More than just a biography, it offers a glimpse into the social and cultural beliefs surrounding aging and longevity in early modern England. Taylor’s work captures the public fascination with Parr and the legends that grew around his extraordinary lifespan.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
