PRINCE DE MIRANDE AND THE CABALA.
GIOVANI FRANCESCO PICO DELLA MIRANDOLA,
1463 A.D.--1494. A.D.
LLIn the year 1486, this celebrated Italian Philosopher, fell in with an impostor who showed him sixty Hebrew Codices and persuaded him that they had been compiled by order of Esdra, and contained the most recondite mysteries of religion and philosophy. In his "Apologia," the Prince de Mirande writes, "When I had bought these books at no moderate price, and had read them with utmost diligence and with indefatigable toil, I saw in them as God is my witness not so much Mosaic. as Christian religion."
