The Medici Codex of Embodied Wisdom explores how Florence became a bridge between ancient initiatory technologies and the European Renaissance.
Through the Neoplatonic school supported by the Medici, the body emerged as the primary vessel of revelation.
Symbol, gesture, and form encoded a path of inner transformation, echoing the ancient cycle of descent, death, and renewal at the heart of the mysteries.
This sequence follows the thread:
• the body as a vehicle of the soul
• the human as microcosm of the cosmic order
• artistic form as initiatory language
• symbolic architecture as a field of activation
• the inner journey as sacred metamorphosis
It proposes a reading of Renaissance art and philosophy as a living transmission rather than an intellectual revival.
