Commentaries on Plato, Volume 1, Phaedrus and Ion

Marsilio Ficino

Edited and translated by Michael J. B. Allen

    Occasionally, a book arrives on my desk that makes me absurdly happy. And in this miasmal winter of our fiscal discontent, I am grateful for such small serendipities...The first is Volume 1 of Commentaries on Plato by 15th-century Florentine scholar and magus Marsilio Ficino.
