First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The 1532 volume is a reprint of Marsilio Ficino's 1497 Aldine compilation of Latin translations. While John Everard published an English translation of Ficino's Latin 'Pimander' in 1650, the centerpiece of the collection, Iamblichus's 'De mysteriis', has only been translated into English from the original Greek (notably by Thomas Taylor in 1821 and Clarke, Dillon, and Hershbell in 2003). No complete English translation of Ficino's specific Latin rendering of the 'De mysteriis' or the full 1532 compilation exists.
