The importance of Bessarion's contribution to the history of
Byzantine and Renaissance philosophy and culture during the 15th
century is beyond dispute. However, an adequate appreciation of his
contribution still remains a desideratum of scholarly research. One
serious impediment to scholarly progress is the fact that the
critical edition of his main philosophical work "In Calumniatorem
Platonis" is incomplete and that this work has not been translated
in its entirety into any modern language yet. Same can be stated
about several minor but equally important treatises on literary,
theological and philosophical subjects. This makes editing,
translating and interpreting his literary, religious and
philosophical works a scholarly priority. Papers assembled in this
volume highlight a number of philological, philosophical and
historical aspects that are crucial to our understanding of
Bessarion's role in the history of European civilization and to
setting the directions of future research in this field.
