Sixtus IV. , and Mathew Corvino, king of Hun- gary, tried to induce him, by magnificent offers, to take up Tiraboschi. GIOVANNI PICO BELLA MIBANDOLA. L6l his abode at their several courts, but he would not quit Florence. Many foreigners, particularly from Germany, visited Italy for the express purpose of seeing him, and studying under him. He died on the first of October, 1499j> at the age of sixty-six. In the year 1521, a marble statue was erected in Florence to his memory: GIOVANNI PICO BELLA... MIRANDOLA. As the name of Pico della Mirandola has been men- tioned, it is impossible not to bestow some attention on a man who was the glory and admiration of Italy. Gio- vanni Pico della Mirandola, Conte della Concordia, was born in the year 146'3 ; his father, Gian Francesco Pico, was lord of Mirandola and Concordia ; his mother's name was Julia Boiarda. From his earliest years he manifested an extraordinary understanding and me- mory : he was naturally disposed to literary and poetic pursuits ; but at the age of fourteen, being destined, as a younger son, for the church, he was sent to Bologna to study canon law.
