Marsilio Ficino by Angela Voss (Western Esoteric Masters Series, North Atlantic Books, 2006)
Marsilio Ficino was at the forefront of the revival of Platonic philosophy in Renaissance Florence. A practising astrologer and magician, he was ordained as a Christian priest and dedicated his ife to reconciling the seeming incongruities of religious faith and philosophical reason. At a complex period in history when orthodox Christian beliefs were being challenged by an enthusiasm for the 'ancient wisdom' of the esoteric traditions, Ficino played an important role in re-visioning traditional astrology as humanistic and psycho-spiritual, laying the foundation for modern-day holistic practices. This is the first published collection of Ficino's astrological writings in English, with a substantial introduction.
