Giovanni Pico della Mirandola’s mother dies and he considers himself free from what is truly dear to him: philosophy, the knowledge of the absolute; from this moment on he goes first to Ferrara (1479-80) then to the University of Padua (1481-82) and at this point he already knows Greek, Latin and Hebrew; then he goes to Paris and Florence (1485) where he begins to work on the 900 Theses, what he sees as the anthology of universal knowledge.
