Marsilio Ficino, the first Latin translator of Plotinus and the whole works of Plato, was the driving force behind Renaissance Neo-Platonism. In 1462, Cosimo de' Medici established the new school in a villa with some Greek texts to interpret and teach Platonic philosophy. As a result, the choices begin with Marsilio Ficino's Commentary on Plato's Symposium. The next selection from Giordano Bruno's The Heroic Enthusiasts. The next two options are about painting. The first is Leon Battista Alberti's On Painting, and the second is Leonardo da Vinci's Treatise on Painting. The last piece is Albrecht Durer's Literary Remains by Albrecht Durer (work by Conway).
