Description: This collection of essays presents new work on the Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) which explores aspects of Ficino's own thought and the sources which he used, and traces his influence on the philosophy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Review Quotes: "All fifteen chapters are of high quality...As the editors rightly note in the introduction, collectively these essays demonstrate once again that any reduction of Ficino's role to that of a translator of ancient philosophical works fails to capture Ficino's wide-ranging interests and influence." M.V. Dougherty, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 65, No. 1 (Spring 2012), pp. 185-186.

"Nel complesso il volume fornisce un'analisi assai estesa dal punto di vista sia spazio-temporale che disciplinare." T.K., Bruniana & Campanelliana, anno xviii, 2012: 2, 657-658 pp.
