"This volume contains Gianfrancesco Pico's Life of his uncle Giovanni Pico and also
Giovanni's Oration. Gianfrancesco's Life opens a collection that omits Giovanni's
Conclusions but includes the speech that we - unlike Pico - know as an Oration on
the Dignity of Man. He wrote the Oration to introduce the Conclusions, but his nephew's
editorial decision cut the theses off from the speech that their author had connected
with them. Several times in the Oration, the orator mentioned "theorems" to be proposed
in the Conclusions: he clearly saw the book and the speech as tools for the same task.
Either Gianfrancesco missed his uncle's intentions, which seems unlikely, or he meant
to seal off his other writings - including the Oration - from a book that he found
embarrassing for himself and his relative and too risky to make public. This is the
fact of the matter: Gianfrancesco left the Conclusions unpublished while publishing
the Oration in a collection introduced by his Life. Both the speech and the biography
are presented here, in this edition, in the same way - apart from the Conclusions:
this reflects the situation in 1496 and respects Gianfrancesco's choice, even though
his decision blocked understanding of the speech for many years. Today, with access
to all the relevant texts in many versions, readers can move from one work to another
as needed"
