 In Pico’s lifetime, of course, even his less obscure views about mystical union were little known because the texts were either not published or not comprehensible to a Latin readership. Gianfrancesco Pico, in the Life of Pico that accompanies the correspondence that the nephew also edited, tried to rescue his uncle’s reputation. The final item in Pico’s bibliography, the Disputations Against Astrology is, like the letters, problematic in its textual history because of Gianfrancesco’s involvement in its publication. (The best account of the Disputations is the article by Anthony Grafton listed in Pichiana by Quaquarelli and Zanardi.)
