Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) was one of the luminaries of the
Florentine Renaissance and the scholar responsible for the revival
of Platonism. The translator and interpreter of the works of both
Plato and Plotinus as well as of various Hermetic and Neoplatonic
texts, Ficino was also a musician, priest, magus and
psychotherapist, an original philosopher and the author of a vast
and important correspondence with the intellectual figures of his
day including Lorenzo the Magnificent. Professor Allen has become
the foremost interpreter of Ficino's metaphysics and mythology, and
the ancient sources they draw upon; and this collection of essays
assembles his work on Ficino's complex interrogation of Platonic
'theology' as not only a preparation for Christianity but as an
enduring medium for intellectuals to explore and to express
Christian truths.
