The origins of this book go back to I956 when it was suggested to
me that a study on the philosophy of Gianfrancesco Pico della
Mirandola would furnish an important addition to our knowledge of
the philoso phy of the Italian Renaissance. It was not, however,
until I960 that I could devote a significant portion of my time to
a realization of this goal. My work was essentially completed in
1963, at which time it was presented in its original form as a
doctoral dissertation in the Phi losophy Department of Columbia
University. Since then I have made many minor improvements and
several chapters have been extensively reworked. This study
represents the first attempt in fifty years to give a detailed
account of even a portion of Gianfrancesco Pico's life and thought.
The most comprehensive previous study, Gertrude Bramlette Richards,
"Gianfrancesco Pico della lv1irandola" (Cornell University
Dissertation, I 9 I 5), which I have found very useful in preparing
my own book, is largely based on secondary literature and is
mistaken in a number of details. Furthermore, Miss Richards'
treatment of Gian francesco Pico as a thinker is very sketchy and
is not an exhaustive study of his own writings. It is hoped that my
present study, built in part on her extensive bibliographical
indications, brings forth a certain amount of new information which
will be of value for further research.
