Plato's Parmenides in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Vol. 7 (Classic Reprint): A Chapter in the History of Platonic Studies - Couverture souple
Synopsis
How medieval and Renaissance scholars reshaped Plato’s Parmenides and the dialogue’s influence on Platonic thought.
This study traces how the Parmenides entered the Latin and Greek scholarly worlds, moving from Proclus’ commentary to the hands of Nicolas of Cusa, Georgius of Trebizond, and later editors and translators. It shows a long line of influence, controversy, and reconstruction as scholars used the work to test and refine Platonic doctrine, theological language, and the logic of unity and multiplicity. The volume situates key figures—from Marsilio Ficino to Jean de Serres—within a broader tradition that helped define modern Platonic studies.
- How Proclus’ Commentary shaped medieval access to the Parmenides and guided early translations.
- How Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa and his circle engaged with the text and its sources.
- How Italian, French, and German scholars interpreted the dialogue’s structure and its metaphysical questions.
- How later editors and translators influenced the reception of Plato’s Parmenides in the modern era.
Ideal for readers of medieval and Renaissance philosophy, the history of Platonic studies, and the development of early modern thought.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing history of Plato's *Parmenides*, a dialogue that has captivated scholars and philosophers for centuries. The author examines how this complex work was received and interpreted throughout the Middle Ages, tracing its influence on medieval thinkers. The book explores the limited knowledge of *Parmenides* that existed in the Latin West until the 13th century, when the Dominican friar William of Moerbeke translated Proclus' commentary on the dialogue. This translation, along with other works by Proclus, significantly shaped the Western understanding of Plato and his metaphysics. The book then illuminates the indirect influence of *Parmenides* on medieval thought through the writings of Dionysius the Areopagite, a figure who was deeply influenced by Neoplatonic ideas. The author examines the role of Georgius of Trapezunt, a 15th-century humanist scholar who translated *Parmenides* into Latin. This translation was significant because it made the entire dialogue accessible to a wider audience. The book explores Georgius' approach to the text, his personal feuds, and the wider historical context of his work. The book ultimately reveals the lasting influence of *Parmenides* on philosophical and theological discourse, highlighting how this dialogue, through its exploration of the relationship between the One and the Many, continued to spark debate and shape the intellectual landscape of the Middle Ages.
