A quick update on the Pico Project, the third major component of our VHL (along with Boccaccio and Villani). We are now completing the English translation of the bilingual commentary (Latin-Italian) on Pico’s Oratio De Hominis Dignitate, the introductory speech to the Conclusiones Nongentae (or 900 theses). In the meantime, Paul Caton of STG is fine tuning the 900 theses site. As soon as this final tune-up is done, we will begin testing the tools the new site makes available to scholars. Testing will be done initially by members of the Oratio team (Francesco Borghesi, Pier Cesare Bori, Dino Buzzetti, Saverio Marchignoli, Giorgio Melloni, Mike Papio and myself). Once this initial testing is completed, a selected number of Pico scholars will be officially invited to collaborate and/or provide feedback on the tools etc.. One of our immediate priorities is also studying the most efficient way of crossreferencing the existing commentary and notes on the Oratio and the 900 theses. We will need to redesign the home page of the Pico Project, which will now encompass both the Oratio and the Theses, as well as new materials that we also plan to make available (such as a selection of letters from/to Pico, in Latin and translation, care of Francesco Borghesi and various essays as well as a gallery of related images).
