| In the thirteenth century it influenced Aquinas, who had parts of Proclus' long commentary, along with the apposite lemmata, translated into Latin for him by the Dominican William of Moerbeke; and in the fifteenth, it molded the Platonism both of Cusanus, for whom it was quickly and sloppily translated by George of Trebizond (a rabid Aristotelian), and of Bessarion. 14) More complex and articulated than the versions of Fortunatianus or Martianus Capella is the Renaissance reworking of ductus theory by the Cretan humanist George of Trebizond (1395/96-1472/73), who appears to have been responsible for reintroducing this doctrine in the West. Thus reference is made to res platonicae without recourse to the work of Hankins, to Pletho without Woodhouse or Masai, to George of Trebizond without Monfasani, to Ficino without Allen, to the beginnings of the Florentine Platonic revival without Field, and to ontological hierarchies without Mahoney, to name only a few instances. |
