This is a new translation of and commentary on Pico della
Mirandola's most famous work, the Oration on the Dignity of Man. It
is the first English edition to provide readers with substantial
notes on the text, essays that address the work's historical,
philosophical and theological context, and a survey of its
reception. Often called the 'Manifesto of the Renaissance', this
brief but complex text was originally composed in 1486 as the
inaugural speech for an assembly of intellectuals, which could have
produced one of the most exhaustive metaphysical, theological and
psychological debates in history, had Pope Innocent VIII not
forbidden it. This edition of the Oration reflects the spirit of
the original text in bringing together experts in different fields.
Not unlike the debate Pico optimistically anticipated, the
resulting work is superior to the sum of its parts.
