Extensive searches of scholarly catalogs (including local, Open Library, Internet Archive, and Library of Congress) confirm that while Iamblichus' 'De Mysteriis' has been translated into English multiple times from the original Greek (e.g., by Thomas Taylor and others), there is no record of an English translation of Marsilio Ficino's 1570 Latin version. The Latin text is a distinct historical document, and its translation into English has not been documented in any of the searched databases.

About This Book
hermeticismphilosophyritual-magic
Iamblichus argues that human reason is insufficient to reach the divine and that only sacred rites can bridge the gap. This text provides a direct path to understanding the ancient mysteries of Egypt and the hidden hierarchy of the cosmos.
