Bessarion of Trebizond (1403-1472) was a cleric in both the Eastern Orthodox and the Roman Catholic churches, and became an influential humanist, patron of humanists, and Neoplatonic philosopher. This study was first published in 1469, and one of the earliest expositions on Platonism to appear in print, was published well in advance of any of Plato's own works, and therefore contributed greatly to disseminating and popularizing Platonic philosophy in the West. It is an attempt to reconcile Plato with Christianity as well as to reconcile Plato with Aristotle and find the appropriate place for both of them in Christian philosophy. Ludwig Mohler published in 1927 this critical edition from the original manuscripts and printed sources. ISBN 9783511033927.
