Can we found out what De amore is about? No point in mentioning it if we don't know its subject matter. I assume love, but ... -- ~~
In De Amore, Ficino describes the four kinds of divine frenzy as means by which God draws the soul back to unity and to Himself (De Amore, Oratio Septima, xiii, 257, xiv, 258, ed. Marcel).
[edit] Council of Sienna
I think it is better to write Council of Florence instead of Sienna

You are correct and I have edited the changes, changing sierra to ferrara-Florence, and changing date from 1439 to 1438-1445

[edit] heresy or inquisition?
In 1489 he was accused of magic before Pope Innocent VIII and needed strong defense to preserve him from the rigors of heresy.
Inquisition is better than heresy, isn't it? Thanks to change if you agreeJpm2112 06:23, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
- This sentence is one of the (many) artifacts of the original "Catholic Encyclopedia" article which was the basis of this article originally. You can tell by the archaic language. Feel free to change it--please! It's been bothering the heck out of me since I first read it! NaySay 15:37, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Crusades, and saving Ficino from the taint of pederasty
Please refrain from editing this article from the perspective of modern morality. Ficino, if nothing else, contributed to the dialogue on male love and pederasty through his teachings and his work on the Phaedrus and the Symposium. Again, if you wish to glean a bit about the topic you may find this instructive. I will not revert your edits at the present time but they obviously falsify the bio and cannot stand.
