Description

This is the first English translation ever of Marsilio Ficino's underground classic of the Italian Renaissance, THE BOOK OF LIFE. Long suppressed because of Ficino's approach to images, demons & planets in relation to mental health, THE BOOK OF LIFE told politicians, thinkers, businessmen & artists of the Italian Renaissance the secrets of food, the pleasures of life, the antidotes to depression & a lot of other things that had been lost for centuries. In this charming & exact translation, Ficino's Book of Life is the Renaissance as you never heard it before!
