A master of languages, with Latin, ancient Greek and Hebrew in his wheelhouse. With hisá900 Thesesáhe openly questioned Catholic theology and saw value in other world religions. He shared literary letters with Lorenzo deâÇÖ Medici. One of the products of which were his 45 sonnets-original, penetrating and engaging.An easy way for both novice and scholar to explore PicoâÇÖs language and sonnets, his analysis of Dante and Petrarch, and his defense of the vernacular.
