Bust of Marsilio Ficino in the cathedral in Florence (by A. Ferrucci, 1521). He seems to play his translation of Plato like a lyre. In the following Hellenistic Period (323–31 BCE) when a thorough-going skepticism came to dominate the Academy , the inheritance of Plato's unwritten doctrines could attract little interest (if they were known at all). This skepticism faded by the time of Middle Platonism and Neo-Platonism , but the philosophers of this period seem no better informed about the unwritten doctrines than modern scholars.Konrad Gaiser: Prinzipientheorie bei Platon.
