Since it is #Epiphany2022 I'm sharing e a portion of my translation from the Latin of Marsilio Ficino's (1433-99) wonderful Epiphany sermon "On the Star of the Magi" (De stella magorum). 1/22 Ghirlandaio, Adoration of the Magi, Ospedale degli Innocenti
I discuss this sermon in great detail in a forthcoming article "The Star of the Magi or The Afterlife of Chaldean Angels in Iamblichus, Proclus, Psellos, Pletho, and Ficino." 2/22
Please keep an eye out for the journal volume in which it will appear. It is a special issue of Travaux et Mémoires 25/2 of the Association CHCByz, entitled "Inventer les anges de l'Antiquité à Byzance," edited by Delphine Lauritzen. 3/22
