Thesis 11>57

Latin

Per praecedentem conclusionem potest intelligens in arithmetica formali intelligere quod operari per scemamphoras est proprium rationalis naturae.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 27629

'scemamphoras' is Pico's own transliteration and is kept as printed, not normalised to 'shem ha-meforash'.

English

By means of the previous conclusion, anyone versed in formal arithmetic can grasp that to operate through the shem ha-meforash belongs properly to the rational nature.

'scemamphoras' renders shem ha-meforash, God's proper, ineffable name (the tetragrammaton).
