original title: "Marsilii Ficini Florentini Opuscula"
original: "de Sole: & lumine Libri duo". In these works, Ficino explores the Sun as a physical and spiritual symbol of the divine, blending Platonic philosophy with Christian theology.
original: "de Christiana religione". This was one of Ficino's major works, written to demonstrate that "true philosophy" and "true religion" are essentially the same.
original: "libri tres de uita sana: De uita longa: De uita cȩlitus comparanda". These three books form Ficino's famous "Three Books on Life" (De Vita Libri Tres). They provide medical and astrological advice for scholars to maintain their health and harness the influence of the planets.
original: "Apologia Marsilii Ficini in librum de Magia". Ficino wrote this defense to justify his use of "natural magic" (astrological medicine) against potential charges of heresy or forbidden sorcery.
An oval library stamp is visible, belonging to the British Museum ("MVSEVM BRITANNICVM"). This indicates the manuscript or book was once part of the museum's founding collection before the British Library was established as a separate entity.
