Accepted answer
He was a neoplatonic and one of the leading protagonist of the Italian Renaissance Neoplatonism, following his attendance of the Council of Florence; see also: Marsilio Ficino.
He promoted a "rediscovery" of ancient pre-Greek wisdom, like that of Zoroaster, and taught polytheism as opposed to monotheism.
He is one of the source of the Renaissance peculiar blend of Platonism, Mosaic wisdom, Hermeticism, etc.
See:
