Designed by Victor Hammer and printed on the handpress by his son, Jacob. Giovanni Pico, Count of Mirandola (1463-94), "was justly celebrated for the range and variety of his learning which included not only Greek and Latin classical literature and Platonist philosophy, but also scholastic logic and the traditions of medieval Jewish and Arabic thought. Among his extant writings which contain many brilliant & fruitful ideas the short treatise known as the Oration on the Dignity of Man is probably the most famous" (from the note on the text by Paul Oskar Kristeller).
