The author deals with the problem of the limits of intellectual knowledge according to the Jewish and the Christian philosophical schools which were most popular in Italy during the late fifteenth century. By taking some unpublished Hebrew sources related to the "prisca philosophia" tradition into account, he compares them with contemporary non Jewish texts, especially those circulating in the Florentine Neoplatonic milieu of Marsilio Ficino and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola.

Abstract
The author deals with the problem of the limits of intellectual knowledge according to the Jewish and the Christian philosophical schools which were most popular in Italy during the late fifteenth century. By taking some unpublished Hebrew sources related to the "prisca philosophia" tradition into account, he compares them with contemporary non Jewish texts, especially those circulating in the Florentine Neoplatonic milieu of Marsilio Ficino and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
