Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463–1494), the most famous philosopher of the Italian Renaissance, had ambitions in line with his talents, especially in philosophical theology. His boldest venture urged Christians to save their souls with Jewish mysticism—Kabbalah—while also offering to debate anyone in Italy about his project. In 1486, he announced plans for a disputation in Rome on 900 theses, but Pope Innocent VIII quashed the event with an indictment for crimes against Christian orthodoxy.  Pico’s theses cited well-known scholastic authorities: Muslims like Ibn Rushd, Jews like Maimonides, and Christians like John Duns Scotus and Thomas Aquinas. But as Brian Copenhaver demonstrates in Nine Hundred Conclusions, many of Pico’s scholastic sources were filtered through a less renowned Thomist theologian named Jean Cabrol (Capreolus). Pico also sought to enrich Christian theology with newly available authorities from the Platonic and Pythagorean traditions as well as theosophical texts associated with ancient Orphism and Hermetism. Supreme among his authorities were theses taken from medieval Jewish Kabbalah, which Pico regarded as an angelic revelation and tried to appropriate for Christianity. The present volume is a ground-breaking contribution, containing a new critical edition of the Latin text along with a new translation into contemporary English, a detailed introduction, and a commentary discussing each of the 900 theses individually.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51387297333521,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51387298414865,"sku":"NIN9780674298910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51387300118801,"sku":"NGR9780674298910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0674298918.jpg?v=1777629915"},{"product_id":"oration-on-the-dignity-of-man-book-giovanni-pico-della-mirandola-9781537746784","title":"Oration on the Dignity of Man","description":"Oration on the Dignity of Man - De hominis dignitate - Manifesto of the Renaissance - Giovanni Pico della Mirandola - The Oration on the Dignity of Man (De hominis dignitate) is a famous public discourse pronounced in 1486 by Pico della Mirandola, an Italian scholar and philosopher of the Renaissance. It has been called the Manifesto of the Renaissance. Pico della Mirandola spoke in front of hostile clerics of the dignity of the liberal arts and about the dignity and glory of angels. Of these angels he spoke of three divisions in particular: the Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones. These are the top three choirs in the angel hierarchy; each one embodying a different virtue. The Seraphim represent charity, and in order to obtain the status of Seraphim, Mirandola declares that one must burn with love for the Creator. The Cherubim represent intelligence. This status is obtained through contemplation and meditation. Finally, Thrones represent justice, and this is obtained by being just in ruling over inferior things. Of these three, the Thrones is the lowest, Cherubim the middle, and Seraphim the highest. In this speech, Mirandola emphasizes the Cherubim and that by embodying the values of the Cherub, one can be equally prepared for the fire of the Seraphim and the judgement of the Thrones.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51844838818065,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51844838981905,"sku":"GOR014423838","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781537746784.jpg?v=1753353292"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-giovanni-pico-della-mirandola.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
