Thesis 24.17

Latin

Licet ut tradit theologia distinctae sint diuinae hierarchiae, intelligendum est tamen omnia in omnibus esse modo suo.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16166

Packet line ends in the hyphenated 'intelligen-'; completed from the next line of the corpus (farmer1998:16167, 'dum est tamen omnia in omnibus esse modo suo'). Confirmed against Black and Wirszubski's quotations, which read 'intelligendum est tamen omnia in omnibus esse modo suo' (black2006:8798; wirszubski1989:12669).

English

Although the divine hierarchies are distinct, as theology teaches, it must nevertheless be understood that all things are in all things, each in its own manner.

Latin restored from the line-break hyphenation 'intelligen-' / 'dum' (farmer1998:16166-16167). 'Theologia' rendered 'theology' as in Pico's own gloss on the Proclean source (see farmer1998:16201, which names the Theologia Platonica). Sense checked against farmer1998:16226.
