Platonic Theology, Volume 3, Books IX-XI

Marsilio Ficino

English translation by Michael J. B. Allen with John Warden Latin text edited by James Hankins with William Bowen

    Platonic Theology is a visionary work and the philosophical masterpiece of Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499), the Florentine scholar-philosopher-magus who was largely responsible for the Renaissance revival of Plato. His Platonic evangelizing was eminently successful and widely influential, and his Platonic Theology, translated into English for the first time in this edition, is one of the keys to understanding the art, thought, culture, and spirituality of the Renaissance.
