THE LETTERS OF MARSILIO FICINO Volume 1

'All that we regard as the norm of Western European art - Botticelli's paintings, Monteverdi's music, Shakespeare's philosophical lovers - Berowne and Lorenzo, Jacques and Portia - has flowered from Ficino's Florence.’
KATHLEEN RAINE, THE TIMES

‘A mind endued with fine principles is like a well-tended and fertile field, or a calm and peaceful sea.’

Ficino

ISBN: 0856830100

Hardback Price: £22.50






THE LETTERS OF MARSILIO FICINO Volume 2
 

‘Undoubtedly, these letters comprise one of the "spiritual classics" of the past thousand years’
CHRISTOPHER BOOKER, THE SPECTATOR

‘I have often noticed that a person who depends on external things always lives a disturbed and anxious life and suffers many a disappointment, while the only person to live in peace and certainty is the one who leads a life based, not upon the passing show without, but upon the eternal within himself.’

Ficino

ISBN: 0856830364

Hardback Price: £22.50





 
  THE LETTERS OF MARSILIO FICINO Volume 3
 

‘Marsilio Ficino was at the very fountainhead of some of the most characteristic and influential aspects of the Italian Renaissance.’
C.B. SCHMITT, THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

‘Happy is the man for whom all things end well: but they do so only for him who uses them well.’

Ficino

ISBN: 0856830453

Hardback Price: £22.50





 
  THE LETTERS OF MARSILIO FICINO Volume 4
 

The subjects which occupy Ficino and his friends … are of perennial and indeed painfully topical interest.’
CHURCH TIMES

‘Since therefore we all wish to be happy, and happiness cannot be obtained without the right use of our gifts, and since knowledge reveals their proper use, we should leave all else aside and strive with the full support of philosophy and religion to become as wise as possible.’

 

Ficino

ISBN: 0856830704

Hardback Price: £22.50





 
  THE LETTERS OF MARSILIO FICINO Volume 5
 
To many who are nauseated by the positivist atheism which on the mass media passes for “humanism”, these letters will be water in the desert.’
KATHLEEN RAINE, THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

‘First is God, second is the contemplation of God, third is the love of and adoration of God. These things are able to give us that peace which the world, being everywhere full of discord, cannot give.’

 

Ficino

ISBN: 0856831298

Hardback Price: £22.50





 
  THE LETTERS OF MARSILIO FICINO Volume 6
 

This body of work constitutes a crucial attempt at intellectual and emotional synthesis. Ficino strives to combine in a system at once harmonious and formally coherent three great strands of doctrine or speculation: Platonism, Christianity and that exceedingly rich current of hermetic, “magical” or cabalistic lore which underlies much of Renaissance culture.’
PROF. GEORGE STEINER, THE SUNDAY TIMES

‘Only a life dedicated by choice to the study and cultivation of truth is lived in the fullness of bliss beyond movement and beyond time.’

 

Ficino

ISBN: 0856831670

Hardback Price: £22.50





 
  THE LETTERS OF MARSILIO FICINO Volume 7
 
All that we regard as the norm of Western European art – Botticelli’s paintings, Monteverdi’s music, Shakespeare’s philosophical lovers … has flowed from Ficino’s Florence’
KATHLEEN RAINE, THE TIMES

‘Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) was at the very fountainhead of some of the most characteristic and influential aspects of the Italian Renaissance’
C.B. SCHMITT, THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
