jan 16, 1520 - Gianfrancesco Pico

Description:

Examen Vanitatis Doctrinae Gentium

An attack on pagan philosophy (Aristotle) inspired by Sextus Empiricus, written by Gianfrancesco Pico, a disciple of Savonarola, nephew of Giovanni.

Also influenced by חסדאי קרשקש: "It is curious that Pico della Mirandola includes the material from Crescas, which had not yet been published and only circulated in Hebrew manuscript. He may have gotten a text and its translation from Judah León Abrabanel (c. 1460–c. 1521), with whom he was in contact."

Authority is with prophecy alone.

Pico also wrote "Strix" in defense of a witch hunt.
