Occasionally, a book arrives on my desk that makes me absurdly happyAnd in this miasmal winter of our fiscal discontent, I am grateful for such small serendipities… The first is Volume 1 of Commentaries on Plato by 15th-century Florentine scholar and magus Marsilio Ficino. -- Martin Levin * Globe and Mail *
