Title

Divini Platonis Opera omnia quæ extant

Description

This diminutive codex contains a portion of Marsilio Ficino’s Platonis Opera Omnia. Simon Grynaeus (1493-1541), an anonymous Lyonnaise editor, and Estienne Tremblay (1556-1597) have all revised the text appearing in this edition. Jacobus Stoer printed this three-volume edition of Ficino’s text at Geneva in 1592. The volumes are small enough to be used as portable reading material. Marginal notes of two sorts are found in this translation. Notes in normal type give different readings or translations of the text along with the scholar from whom these readings stem; scholars cited include Cicero and Proclus. Notes in italics are topical headings or interpretations of the text. The pages displayed translate the Timaeus passage in which the periods of heavenly bodies and the completion of the Perfect Year are described, as well as the creation of stars and gods.
