Reviews
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola's Oratio is arguably the best-known text of Renaissance philosophy.... an impressive collection that includes several substantive essays, a Latin text with an excellent facing-page English translation, a critical overview of the text, and a detailed footnote commentary.... This volume is a model of collaborative scholarship and constitutes a major contribution to the study of the work of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. In meticulous detail, it explores the many sources at Pico's disposal.... the volume presents a highly consistent and extremely valuable commentary on Pico's best-known text. --M. V. Dougherty, Ohio Dominican University, Renaissance Quarterly
