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.

Industry Reviews

'These articles represent Allen, the foremost student of Ficino in his generation, arguably at his best, certainly at his most original...Allen has a gift for sorting out long-standing problems. With his clear and often vivid style, he beckons the reader into Ficino's thought-world. He has laid a reliable foundation on which succeeding scholars can build for a long time to come.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'Allen is one of the great masters of Fician studies' Neo Latin News 'Allen has devoted the best part of his scholarly endeavors to interpreting a great interpreter of Plato, Marsilio Ficino. No scholar has penetrated so deeply and so learnedly into Ficino's vast project to revive the philosophy of Plato; no scholar has done so much to help us see Plato through Ficino's eyes... All display Allen's characteristic qualities of accurate scholarship, deep learning, literary elegance, and the occasional dash of controlled speculation.' Renaissance Quarterly
