Isaac Preston Cory (1802–1842) was a British antiquarian who compiled ancient fragments and published them in a compendium called Cory's Ancient Fragments (1826, revised 1832).
Cory was a Fellow of Caius College, having obtained a master's degree in law in 1827. He soon after became a professional barrister, but also was an antiquarian and book collector.[1] He was a personal friend of Thomas Taylor and through him obtained ancient fragments from classical neoplatonists which he added to his compendium of ancient fragments.
