Western Esotericism: History & Scholarship

Plato in the Italian Renaissance

by James Hankins

A detailed study of how Plato's dialogues were translated, read and debated in fifteenth-century Italy, culminating in Marsilio Ficino's complete Latin Plato. Hankins also reassessed the Florentine Platonic Academy, showing it to have been an informal circle rather than a formal institution.
