First published Tue Jun 3, 2008; substantive revision Wed Jun 6, 2012 Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463–94) is, after Marsilio Ficino, the best known philosopher of the Renaissance: his Oration on the Dignity of Man is better known than any other philosophical text of the fifteenth century. Pico was also remarkably original—indeed, idiosyncratic. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/pico-della-mirandola/
