Syncretism in the West : Pico's 900 Theses (1486) - Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

Syncretism in the West develops a cross-cultural model of the evolution of premodern religious, philosophical, and cosmological thought, viewed through the exaggerated syncretic system developed in Pico's 900 theses. Pico planned to debate the theses at Rome before the Pope and leaders of "all schools." The book contains a corrected Latin edition of Pico's text, the first English translation (the only reliable translation in any language), and a commentary on Pico's debate, in which he planned to discuss (and partially harmonize) all major traditions known in his day.
