Antique Italian book used Dialoghi Di Amore Di Leone Hebreo Medico 1572

Description: Dialoghi Di Amore Di Leone Hebreo Medico, Nicolo Beuilaqcua, 1572; 246 pp, 1 ff, 1 bf. italics. Disband, but includes original red vellum cover. This is a classic work of 16th century philosophy concerning the complexities of love, which of course holds no mystery to the modern age. The three Dialogues on Love by Leone Ebreo (Yehudah Abrabanel), presumably written at the beginning of the sixteenth century and published posthumously in 1535, represent one of the fundamental texts of the philosophy of love of the Italian Renaissance. A mysterious and, at the same time, fortunate work: between the year of its first publication and 1607 it went through twenty-five editions with lasting success throughout the seventeenth century and, to some extent, into the following century. The author, a true philosophical talent, is a fascinating figure of a man of letters and a doctor, open to various orientations of thought. His Dialogues on Love are an unparalleled synthesis of Platonic tradition, Arab Aristotelianism, Jewish culture, and Biblical exegesis.
