Bartolemeo di Filippo was born on 31 August 1436. Filippo was on friendly terms with
Lorenzo di Medici, and funded Ficino's translation of Plato after the Pazzi conspiracy of 1478. Correspondence written prior to 2 June 1484 shows Ficino reporting that Filippo is having the corpus of Plato published at his own expense. He was a student of Traversari. He was a principal member of the
Council of Florence. == Francesco ==
