Note su Paolo Beni e l’In Platonis Timaeum nell’Italia Post-Tridentina 

At the turn of the seventeenth century, Paolo Beni emerges as a key figure in post-Tridentine Roman culture, positioned between orthodoxy and intellectual innovation. His In Platonis Timaeum, only partially published, reflects the tensions of Counter-Reformation Rome, where inquisitorial control coexisted with reformist impulses and renewed philosophical inquiry. This article analyses Beni’s intellectual trajectory, academic networks, and method, focusing on his attempt to reconcile Platonic philosophy with Christian doctrine and on its reception in early seventeenth-century circles, including Francesco Patrizi and Galileo Galilei.
