Evermore shall be so : Ficino on Plato's Parmenides by
Marsilio Ficino(
)
14 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 1,367 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Having translated the works of Plato and the major Neo-Platonists from Greek into Latin, Ficino was in a unique position to provide commentaries on Plato's dialogues, explaining the substance of the dialogue in the context of the whole corpus of Platonic thought and Renaissance Florence." "To Ficino, however, philosophy was much more than an intellectual exercise. As a canon of Florence Cathedral, he recognised the spiritual significance of Plato's dialogues, of which Parmenides is perhaps the most profound, dealing as it does with the ultimate reality and how the individual soul may ascend to the presence of the eternal One." "The reader is invited to join the translator in ascending from the plains of everyday living, up through the hills of ever loftier considerations, rising to the majestic peaks of Ideas, transcending being itself, and eventually entering into the presence of the One."--Jacket

Marsilio Ficino(
Book
)
147 editions published between 1489 and 2012 in 6 languages and held by 1,189 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The first translation ever into English of this underground classic of the Italian Renaissance. Marsilio Ficino's Book of life was once supressed for Ficino's approach to images, daemons, and planets in relation to health. The book in this fluent, amusing and exact translation by Charles Boer is a guide to food, drink, sleep, mood, sexuality, song and countless herbal and vegetable concoctions for maintaining the balance of soul, body and spirit. A fouding text of archetypal psychology, it has long been an important source for image-oriented thought

On Dionysius the Areopagite by
Marsilio Ficino(
Book
)
4 editions published in 2015 in English and held by 225 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"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."--Front inside flap of dust jacket

Commentary on Plotinus by
Marsilio Ficino(
Book
)
in English and Multiple languages and held by 189 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) was the leading Platonic philosopher of the Renaissance and is generally recognized as the greatest authority on ancient Platonism before modern times. Among his greatest accomplishments as a scholar was his 1492 Latin translation of the complete works of Plotinus (204-270 CE), the founder of Neoplatonism. The 1492 edition also contained an immense commentary that remained for centuries the principle introduction to Plotinus's works for Western scholars. At the same time, it constitutes a major statement of Ficino's own late metaphysics. The I Tatti edition, planned in six volumes, contains the first modern edition of the Latin text and the first translation into any modern language."--
