Titolo / Title: La fortuna di Giovanni Pico della Mirandola nelle Disputationes Aristotelicae di Tommaso Giannini (1556-1638)

Abstract: Tommaso Giannini (1556–1638) was a prominent professor at the ferrarese Studium between sixteenth and seventeenth century. Probably influenced by Platonic sympathies nurtured by the Court and partly by the University milieu, in 1587 he published his first work titled De providentia ad sententiam Platonis et Platonicorum liber unus, which was a catalyst for his academic career. A compilative work in essence, the De providentia displays a large amount of sources always tacitly used: Marsilio Ficino, Jacques Charpentier, Giulio Serina, Stefano Tiepolo, Teofilo Zimara, Bessarion, Agostino Steuco and amid the ancients Plotinus, Plutarcus, Sirianus, Proclus (read in Teofilo Zimara and Leonico Tomeo), Giamblicus, Apuleius, Calcidius, Ammonius, Psellus. A small place is reserved to Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and precisely to his Disputationes adversus astrologiam divinatricem. The aim of the paper is to provide a supplement of analysis of Giannini’s interest in Pico’s works considering his later writings, each one commonly identified as Disputationes Aristotelicae.

Keywords: Marsilio Ficino; Tommaso Giannini; Giovanni Pico della Mirandola; Platonism; Teofilo Zimara.
