PIC DE LA MIRANDOLE (1463-1494)
[Ioannis Pici Mirandulae Omnia Opera 1 & 2]. Venise : Bernardino Venetus, 1498.

Seconde édition des Œuvres de Pic de la Mirandole.
Le premier volume, imprimé le 9 octobre 1498 à Venise, réunit plusieurs textes de Pic de la Mirandole, parmi lesquels une version abrégée des Epistolae et son Apologia, qu’il est contraint de rédiger à la suite de la condamnation jetée par le pape Innocent VIII sur ses 900 Conclusiones imprimées la même année. Le second volume, bien qu’indiquant au colophon la date et le lieu de l’édition de Benedictus Hectoris (16 juillet 1495) est en réalité imprimé le 14 août 1498 et propose la fameuse Disputation contre l’astrologie, dernier texte que Pic de la Mirandole rédige avant sa mort en 1492 et qui n’est édité qu’à titre posthume par son neveu en 1496.
