In 1490/92 Marsilio Ficino, the Florentine
scholar-philosopher-magus who was largely responsible for the
Renaissance revival of Plato, made new translations of, with
running commentaries on, two treatises he believed were the work of
Dionysius the Areopagite, the disciple of St. Paul mentioned in the
Acts of the Apostles. His aim was to show how these two treatises
(in fact the achievement of a sixth-century Christian follower of
the Neoplatonist Proclus) had inspired pagan thinkers in the later
Platonic tradition like Plotinus and Iamblichus. These major
products of fifteenth-century Christian Platonism are here
presented in new critical editions accompanied by English
translations, the first into any modern language.
