'From every point of view it is a
pleasure to read this perfect introduction to one of the most attractive
and influential figures of the Italian Renaissance.' C.V.WEDGWOOD, DAILY TELEGRAPH Special
Offer: Translated from the Latin by the Language Department of the School of Economic Science, London ISBN: 9780856831997 |

|||
| 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.’ ISBN: 9780856830105 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: 9780856830365 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: 9780856830457 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.’

|
'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: 9780856831294 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.’

influential aspects of the Italian Renaissance’
