No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly and library catalogs (including local, Open Library, Internet Archive, OpenAlex, and Library of Congress) yielded no evidence of a complete English translation of Marsilio Ficino's Latin translation of Plato's works. While individual commentaries or specific dialogues translated by Ficino have been the subject of modern scholarly studies (e.g., Michael J. B. Allen's work on the Sophist), no complete English translation of the 1518 (or any other) edition of Ficino's Latin Plato exists. The work remains untranslated in its entirety.

About This Book
florentine-platonismhistoryneoplatonismphilosophyrenaissance
Marsilio Ficino brings the full weight of the Platonic tradition to the Renaissance, translating the master’s dialogues into a Latin that feels as much like an oracle as a philosophical text. Readers will confront the essential questions of existence, from the soul's immortality to the nature of the state, in a volume that effectively bridges the gap between antiquity and Christian faith.
