PLOTINUS (ca. 205-270). Operum Philosophicorum Omnium . Greek text with Latin translation and commentary by Marsilio Ficino. Basel: Petrus Perna, 1580. 2° (337 x 210mm). Large printer's device on title, smaller printer's device on Ss8v and final recto, woodcut portrait of Ficino on α6r, historiated and ornamental initials. (Some spotting, light dampstaining, small portion of lower corner of title replaced.) Later calf (rebacked, a few discreet repairs). Provenance : John Alfred Spranger, Trinity College, Cambridge (bookplate). EDITIO PRINCEPS, with the Latin translation and commentary by Marsilio Ficino, which he made between 1484 and 1490 under the patronage of Lorenzo de'Medici and which was first published in 1492. The works of Plotinus were among the central texts of Neoplatonism, and in Ficnino's dedicatory letter to Lorenzo, reprinted from the 1492 edition, we have a valuable document in the history of the Neoplatonic revival in the Renaissance, in which Ficino sets forth the rediscoveries of Plato, Hermes Trismegistus and others considered prisci theologii . Adams P-1597.
