Description

Marsilio Ficino's Commentary on Plotinus Ennead III is a foundational work in the study of Neoplatonism. First published in 1492, this Latin translation and commentary remains a crucial introduction to the works of Plotinus for Western scholars.

As part of the I Tatti edition, this volume presents the first modern edition of the Latin text and the first translation into any modern language. It also includes an analytical study of Ficino's interpretation of Plotinus' Fourth Ennead, providing valuable insights into the philosopher's metaphysics.

This volume is a significant contribution to the field of ancient philosophy, offering a unique window into the thought of one of history's most influential thinkers.
