Yehudah Abravanel e l’eredità di Marsilio Ficino. La «teologale sapienzia» e il divino Platone

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of Marsilio Ficino’s renovatio antiquorum on Yehudah Abarbanel’s Dialoghi d’amore (1535), in order to understand Yehudah’s re-elaboration of the notion of the prisca theologia in the light of a renovated union between reason and faith or philosophy and religion. This approach aims to shed new light on Yehudah’s relation with Judaism and with his Jewishness and to demonstrate how Yehudah was fully immersed in the Italian philosophical debate of his own time.
