Read about the origin of the famous encomium for More, "a man for all seasons," or in Latin, vir omnium horarum.
The article, printed in Thomas More Studies 1 (2006), is by Dr. Clarence Miller, who served as Executive Editor of Yale University Press’ Complete Works of St. Thomas More; he translated and edited the 2001 Yale edition of Utopia. He is Professor Emeritus of St. Louis University.
