Abstract
Consideration of a further analogization common in Ficino’s text: the relation between the three first principles (the One, Intellect, Soul) and the Christian Trinity. Plotinus’ doctrine is considered to be Arian by Ficino, although some tentative approaches in the Enneads to the notion of consubstantiality are detected.
