Gardens of Philosophy

Under the patronage of the Medici family, Marsilio Ficino translated into Latin and commentated on the meaning and implications of key works by Plat-including 25 of Plat's dialogues and 12 letters ascribed to the philosopher. The 40 concise articles in this collection comprise the first English translation of Ficin's works and provide an insightful glimpse into the philosophy that contributed to the Renaissance.
