Description of  The Book of Life

This is the first English translation ever of Marsilio Ficino's underground classic of the Italian Renaissance, THE BOOK OF LIFE. Long suppressed because of Ficino's approach to images, demons & planets in relation to mental health, THE BOOK OF LIFE told politicians, thinkers, businessmen & artists of the Italian Renaissance the secrets of food, the pleasures of life, the antidotes to depression & a lot of other things that had been lost for centuries. In this charming & exact translation, Ficino's Book of Life is the Renaissance as you never heard it before!)
