The Oration by philosopher Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
(1463-1494), to which later editors added the subtitle On the
Dignity of Man, is the most famous text written in Italy at the
height of the Renaissance. The Life of Giovanni by Gianfrancesco
Pico, his nephew, is the only contemporary account of the
philosopher's brief and astonishing career-Giovanni, who challenged
anyone to debate him on nine hundred theses in Rome, whose writings
made him a heretic by papal declaration, died at the age of
thirty-one. Together, these works record Giovanni's invention of
Christian Kabbalah, his search for the ancient theology of Orpheus
and Zoroaster, and his effort to reconcile all the warring schools
of philosophy in universal concord. In this new translation, the
two texts are presented with ample explanatory notes that transform
our understanding of these fascinating thinkers.
