Who was Pico della Mirandola?
In 1486, at the age of 23, the Italian nobleman Pico della Mirandola offered to defend 900 theses on religion, philosophy, natural philosophy and magic against all comers. For the occasion he wrote the Oration on the Dignity of Man, later called the manifesto of the Renaissance.
The 900 Theses became the first printed book banned outright by the Church. Pico founded the tradition of Christian Kabbalah, and because his theses anticipated many Protestant views he is sometimes seen as a proto-Protestant.
