englischAs the son of Cosimo de' Medici's personal physician, Marsilio Ficino was commissioned at a young age to learn Greek and translate the writings of Plato. At the suggestion of his friend Pico della Mirandola, he subsequently also produced a Latin version of the work of the Neoplatonist Plotinus. He arranged the Plotinian treatises into six groups of nine (Enneads) and wrote a commentary introduction to each of the 54 'books'. With a dedication to Lorenzo de' Medici, Ficino's Plotinus edition was printed in Florence on May 7, 1492. Since this first printing there have been several further editions, most recently by Friedrich Creuzer in 1835.

In the modern edition of the introductions, which Ficino himself called commentary, now distributed in three volumes, a text-critical edition is provided with a German translation for the first time.
