摘要：Giovanni Nesi’s experience of life and thought show the complexity of cultural and political situation in the middle fifteenth-century Florence: from Donato Acciaiuoli’s civic and ethic aristotelianism to Marsilio Ficino’s neoplatonism and Girolamo Savonarola’s spirituality. Nesi’s Oraculum de novo saeculo speaks of Savonarola as ‘Socrates Ferrarese’ sent by God to cure Florence’s ills with his salubrious learning for its reformation. The meeting of Savonarolan reformation of the city and of Ficinian philosophical instances is the decisive principle of Nesi’s (and laurentians intellectuals’) mental attitude against the crisis of Florentine society after Lorenzo de’ Medici’s death and the liberty’s defeat.
