Hermetism: Corpus Hermeticum imprimir
 
Pico had access to the hermetic sources translated by the academy that under the name of CORPUS HERMETICUM gathered treaties like the Poemandres and the Asclepion. Besides, he decided the translation of the Dialogues of Plato. He also had access to the Cabala, being initiated in it through the teaching in hebrew that Pico received from conversed jews like Flavius Mithridates, Pablo de Heredia and Elia de Mendigo, carriers of this tradition as it was developed in 13th century in hispanic lands.
Mithridates, erudite in hebrew, greek and latin languages, as well as Pablo and Elia transferred to Pico the fundamental hebrew texts and their hermeneutic procedure according to the law of correspondences, that allows combinations and permutations among numbers and consonant letters. Based on this, Pico found in the ancient wisdom an open path to the christian hermeneutic of the Cabala, in which the christian faith in divinity of Christ is confirmed, according to the line of the patristic and medieval tradition that was already drew by Saint Jerome and Nicholas of Cusa.
In the confluence of the great Cabalistic, Christian and Hermetic current, that with its fundamental symbols gives identity to the live tradition of occident, Pico develops his Nine Hundred Conclusions, offering to whom could be interested, the proof and reciprocal confirmation among ones and others, through the principles that sustain their respective cosmogonies, aspect of only one and unique principle that gives them their fundament.
Pico Della Mirandola had also access to the revealer space of CORPUS HERMETICUM, of which translation took care the scriptorium of Marsilio Ficino. One year after the elaboration of his Nine hundred thesis, Pico redacts the Oration or Discourse about the Dignity of the Man, as introduction and apology of them, given the disapproval they suffered by the prejudges of the religiosity of that time. Discourse in which is manifested the renascence Idea of the man and his possession of the world, who as center and reflection of the entire cosmos, was given of all that was in the creation itself, having the man the capability to degenerate to inferior beings that are the beasts, as well as to re-generate in the superior realities that are divine, and all that thanks to the intellect, “the intellectual soul unique for all men”, reflection of the “mens divina”, which is link of the celestial and terrestrial worlds through the magic established around the sciences of the Astrology and the Alchemy.
