Este romance inicia-se com uma citação de Heinrich Heine, segundo a qual «aqueles que queimam livros acabam, mais cedo ou mais tarde, por queimar também homens». Novembro de 1494. Carlos VIII, rei de França, prepara-se para conquistar Florença. Numa cela do convento de São Marcos, a filosofia tem encontro marcado com o fanatismo. Pico della Mirandola está à espera de Savonarola, para o pôr de sobreaviso contra os excessos da sua fé.

"Hiçbir ülkeye ait olmayan ve hiçbir öğretimin kendi içine hapsedemeyeceği basit bir yolcuyum ben, bir bilgelik aşığıyım. Ben kimim ki, falan öğretinin doğru, filan öğretinin yanlış olduğu yönünde seçim yapıp karar vereyim, hangi sıfatla iyiyi kötüden ayırayım."

Very interesting reconstitution of the life of the Italian philosopher Pico della Mirandola. Pico had interest in the Hebrew Bible version and not only in the (incomplete) Vulgata Latina. His pamphlet "Against the astrologers and his divinatory pretensions" was praised by Erasmus of Rotterdam. Pico defended human freedom, and he was a Kabalist:...:"not the superior worlds, angels and stars movements " that influence men's actions and thoughts, but the opposite.

Πολύ καλή εισαγωγή στο quattrocento. Αξίζει επίσης και για το κατατοπιστικό επίμετρό του.

Un beau style d'écriture, narration agréable et cependant, j'ai trouvé cet ouvrage quelque peu superficiel.
J'attendais d'en savoir plus sur la pensée de Pic de la Mirandole et sa répercussion sur la culture occidentale. Je suis restée sur ma faim.
