De Mysteriis Aegyptiorum
Iamblichus; Proclus; Porphyry; trans. Marsilio Ficino
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
Iamblichus' 'De Mysteriis Aegyptiorum' is a well-known Neoplatonic work originally written in Greek. While there are several English translations of the original Greek text (such as those by Thomas Taylor and others), there is no evidence of an English translation of Marsilio Ficino's 1497 Latin rendering of the work. The Latin text is a distinct historical and scholarly object, and its translation history is separate from that of the Greek original. Therefore, this is a first translation from the Latin source.

Iamblichus argues that human reason alone cannot reach the divine. This text provides a manual for theurgy, showing how ritual, symbols, and harmony bridge the gap between our souls and the infinite.
