Description

Platonic Theology is the visionary and philosophical masterpiece of Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499), the Florentine scholar-philosopher-magus largely responsible for the Renaissance revival of Plato. This work, translated into English for the first time, is a key to understanding the art, thought, culture, and spirituality of the Renaissance.
