AA! - Astrology Alive! "Coelitus" Friends of Ficino Online Community

The "Friends of Marsilio Ficino" was born 5/24/98, 7:00 PM EDT, at UAC, in Atlanta, GA, USA, as a dozen attendees who know and admire the work and life of this 15th Century Florentine philosopher, astrologer, theologian, and founder of the Platonic Academy, (etcetera, ad infinitum), gathered in his honor. This page serves as a gateway to the Coelitus Online Community (where Friends get together to converse about all Ficino-related matters), and as a point of departure for various bits of information about Ficino, as well as posted images and a bibliography on Ficino and his work.
