THE ATLAS OF THE ONE AND THE MANY
The Enneads printed in Latin
Florence, 1492
nature
Ficino's complete Latin Plotinus goes to press in Florence — the year Spain expels its Jews, and a great many Kabbalists carry their books east and north.
Two currents crossing in one year, and neither noticing. Renaissance Europe gets Plotinus in print at the moment the Jewish tradition that had already absorbed him is scattered across the Mediterranean.
