Can we found out what De amore is about? No point in mentioning it if we don't know its subject matter. I assume love, but ... -- ~~

In De Amore, Ficino describes the four kinds of divine frenzy as means by which God draws the soul back to unity and to Himself (De Amore, Oratio Septima, xiii, 257, xiv, 258, ed. Marcel).

Council of Sienna

I think it is better to write Council of Florence instead of Sienna

You are correct and I have edited the changes, changing sierra to ferrara-Florence, and changing date from 1439 to 1438-1445

heresy or inquisition?

In 1489 he was accused of magic before Pope Innocent VIII and needed strong defense to preserve him from the rigors of heresy.

Inquisition is better than heresy, isn't it? Thanks to change if you agreeJpm2112 06:23, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This sentence is one of the (many) artifacts of the original "Catholic Encyclopedia" article which was the basis of this article originally. You can tell by the archaic language. Feel free to change it--please! It's been bothering the heck out of me since I first read it! NaySay 15:37, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Crusades, and saving Ficino from the taint of pederasty

Please refrain from editing this article from the perspective of modern morality. Ficino, if nothing else, contributed to the dialogue on male love and pederasty through his teachings and his work on the Phaedrus and the Symposium. Again, if you wish to glean a bit about the topic you may find this instructive. I will not revert your edits at the present time but they obviously falsify the bio and cannot stand. Haiduc 16:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

a biography??

what kind of a bio is that? It begins mentioning Plethon and doesn't really link it explicitly to Ficino. It's messy and frankly, rather boring. Can someone knowledgeable on this please write a good interesting bio on Ficino, e.g. -birth -parentage -upbringing -early influences -teachers -skills and failings -marriage/lovelife -achievements -death —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.48.84.234 (talk) 00:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well, if you'd looked at it, turkey, you'd see that it was almost all from the 1911 Catholic Encyclopedia. Don't jump at the few of us who've tweaked it. And sign your snarky remarks, dude. NaySay 20:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Platonic love?

What is the relevance of the "Platonic love" link in the "see also" section? Top.Squark (talk) 17:57, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

None - I've removed it. Elphit (talk) 10:51, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to kick off an edit war or something, but the platonic love page has no relevance here. Ficino's neoplatonism has nothing to do with the concept of platonic love on that page. Removing it again. Elphit (talk) 11:52, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's very helpful to keep removing until we can reach agreement on the issues. Ficino is credited with coining the term "amor socraticus" and its synonym "amor platonicus" (platonic love) in his commentary on the Symposium. Thus it would be puzzling not to be able to link to the platonic love article - especially as it refers to him in that article. I accept, however, that the meaning as presented in that article may be different to that developed by Ficino (but then we should amend to better reflect those concerns). We should also provide a link to the "Greek love" article which again refers directly to Ficino. Contaldo80 (talk) 14:43, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
