First Translation

This text has not previously been translated into English.

The 1532 edition is a famous Renaissance 'omnibus' of Neoplatonic and Hermetic texts translated into Latin by Marsilio Ficino. While some individual components have been translated into English from the Latin (most notably John Everard's 1650 translation of the 'Pymander' and various translations of the 'Asclepius'), there is no complete English translation of this specific Latin collection as a whole. Furthermore, Ficino's influential Latin versions of Iamblichus, Proclus, and Porphyry contained in this volume have not been translated into English; modern scholars typically translate these authors directly from the original Greek rather than from Ficino's Latin renderings.
