Esotericism and the Academy: Rejected Knowledge in Western Culture

Nee enim tarn numeranda veterum testimonia sunt quam ponderanda. Poliziano, Misc. I. 39 There has never been much doubt among Renaissance scholars about the leading role played by Marsilio Ficino and Neoplatonic philosophy in the cultural life of the High Renaissance. From the time of his first biographer, Giovanni Corsi, Ficino's work of recovering and disseminating Platonism was held to be one of the great achievements of Medici patronage. The publication history of his translations and other writings during the early modern period attests to the widespread interest they aroused, not only among professional philosophers, but also among educated persons in general.

The Myth of the Platonic Academy of Florence

This text provides a study of the dramatic revival of interest in the Platonic dialogues in Italy in the 15th century. Through a contextual study of the translations and commentaries on Plato, this book seeks to show how the interpretation of Plato was moulded by the expectations of 15th-century readers, by the need to protect Plato against his critics, and by the broader hermeneutical assumptions and practices of the period. The second part of the volume includes 20 appendices which cover the dates, character and sources of the translations and commentaries discussed in the first part. It also contains a "catalogue raisonee" of texts illustrative of Plato in the Quattrocento, comprising new critical editions of 59 texts, 38 of them previously unpublished. This text was awarded the fourth annual Morris D. Forkosch Prize (1990) for the best work of the year on intellectual history.

Plato in the Italian Renaissance

HE MOST FAMOUS of all stories about the Platonic Academy of Florence is the story of its founding. According to the traditional account, Cosimo de' Medici, during the Council of Florence in 1439, repeatedly heard the neopagan philosopher Gemistus Pletho delivering lectures on Plato and was inspired by his contact with the Byzantine to refound the Platonic Academy in his own city of Florence, the new Athens of Italy. Recognizing, however, that the time was not yet ripe for such an undertaking, he bided his time-for almost a quarter of a century-until he recognized in the young Marsilio Ficino the instrument through which his design might be accomplished. Noticing his attraction to Platonic philosophy, Cosimo arranged for the young man to learn Greek. In due course Cosimo gave Ficino a manuscript of the complete works of Plato, a house in Florence, and a house (in some versions a villa) near his own villa at Careggi which was to be the centre of the new Platonic Academy. These gifts were bestowed in 1462, the year which is usually taken to be the precise foundation date of the Florentine Academy. Under Cosimo's patronage-continued by his descendants Piero di Cosimo, Lorenzo and Piero di Lorenzo-the 'Academia Caregiana' flourished and became the spiritual home of the Florentine Renaissance in the later Quattrocento, numbering among its membership such luminaries as Angelo Poliziano, Pico della Mirandola, Cristoforo Landino, and Lorenzo il Magnifico himself.

The Cambridge companion to Renaissance philosophy

It was entirely appropriate that the death of Hans Baron in November of 1988 should have become the occasion for a number of tributes to his work and influence as a Renaissance historian; and since Princeton University Press, only a few months earlier, had issued a collection of his papers and articles, a retrospective look at his contributions to Renaissance studies was made all the more obligatory.' Among the more perceptive accounts of Baron's work was a review-essay by John Najemy, which made some very large claims for the importance of Baron's work.2 "It is by now commonplace," wrote Najemy, "that what Burckhardt was to nineteenth-century Renaissance historiography, Baron is to its twentieth-century counterpart: each provided his century's most influential, compelling, and debated interpretation of the significance of the cultural developments of Italy between the end of the Middle Ages and the modem era." And again: "In recovering Bruni and the civic humanism of the early fifteenth century, Baron did nothing less than recast the entire Renaissance from Petrarch to Machiavelli." Large claims indeed, yet it is difficult to quarrel with them, especially coming from a scholar of Najemy's authority. Baron was surely one of the three or four most influential interpreters of the Renaissance in the second
