Some excerpts from the first speech Giovanni “gave” at a supper Bandini hosted in celebration of Plato’s death day where everyone read the Symposium then gave speeches on the nature of Love in response to each section of the Symposium.

Naturally, what the speeches actually were versus what Marsilio wrote down are likely vastly different. He very much was just using that gathering as a way to frame his commentary on Symposium in the classic Socratic style.

In any case, he gave Giovanni the most speeches (of course he did) with three of seven going to him. The others were given by Cristoforo Landino, Carlo Marsuppini, Tomasso Benci, Cristoforo Marsuppini.

Granted, technically all attendees were supposed to get one but a few people had to leave so the excess fell to Cavalcanti

Here’s Marsilio’s required plug about how hot his boyfriend is:

And a bit from the “official” preface and dedication (not the Secret/Personal one, as I call it, which was the true dedication to Giovanni):

The official dedication is to the citizens of Florence, Bernardo Del Nero, and Antonio di Tuccio Manetti and in this one he says Lorenzo de Medici inspired him to write the commentary on the Symposium. This is obviously just Ficino trying to please a patron because he says in many letters, and in the letter/secret preface of the first manuscript edition that it was Giovanni who persuaded him as a means to try and leverage him out of a deep depressive episode.

Anyway, your daily Ficino Blogging continues.

Es curioso cómo pasa el tiempo. Cuando me uní a “Tumblr” era una adolescente sufriendo en la secundaria y hoy soy una adulta sufriendo en la vida.

Too many thoughts for one brain, too many anxieties for one heart.

Estaba aquí pensando que cualquiera que tenga un “Tumblr” nunca podrá irse de aquí. Aunque sea sólo para mirar de vez en cuando, terminamos quedándonos aquí. Es una especie de vínculo con lo más íntimo de nosotros.
