It is true that there were professed Platonists in the West during the ten centuries from the fifth to the fifteenth. There were also scholars, or at least grammarians, who could read and write Greek. But there were very few who could be called both Greek scholars and philosphers. The few who could, such as Johannes Scotus Erigena in the ninth century, were commonly regarded as heretical. Not only an interst in Plato but even an aptitude for Greek excited suspicion in the Church. Even almost a century after 1439, Erasmus was to find that this was still the case.
