Letters of marsilio ficino (liber x) (Shepheard-Walwyn (Publishers) Ltd)

Covering late 1489 to spring 1491 when Ficino was translating the Enneads of Plotinus, these letters to a wide circle of influential correspondents in church and state reveal the immortality of the soul as central to the Plotinus' teaching. They also give an insight into the political context and precarious social condition in which he was working.
