| book description |

This book represents the first ever systematic philosophical study of Marsilio Ficinoâ€™s Commentary on Plotinusâ€™ â€˜Enneadsâ€™ (first published in Florence, 1492), this work of Ficino being arguably as definitive for the Florentine thinkerâ€™s later work as the Platonic Theology was for his earlier. Publication of the present study uniquely illuminates the extent to which Plotinus had always been the crucial influence over Ficinoâ€™s revolutionary projects of introducing Platonic thought based on original Greek sources to western Europe, correcting certain features of late medieval and Renaissance Aristotelianism, and laying the foundations of a new Christian Platonism. The study can be read both as an independent introduction to Ficinoâ€™s later philosophy and as the complement to the first modern edition and translation of the Commentary on the 'Enneads' itself also by Stephen Gersh (I Tatti Renaissance Library, 2017-).
