Epilogue? I wish to draw attention to the following facts:

- this Pythagorean structure was known to BOETHIUS, and consequently to those literate in Latin - and this, before the exile into Italy of Byzantine scholars
Boethius, De institutione arithmetica
viewtopic.php?t=1102&p=20080#p20080

Boethius understands that in the case of pentagons - "de generatione pentagonorum" - the differences between two successive pentagonal numbers form what we call an arithmetical series of common difference three.
1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 ...

and that the pentagonal numbers are obtained as the successive sums of the terms of this series:
5, 12, 22, 35, 51 ...

Boethius ends his study by writing, "We can do the same for the other forms of polygons" - and he generalizes - hexagon, series of common difference four (1, 5, 9, 13, ...) , heptagon, series of common difference five (1, 6, 11, 16, ...).

Hi Mikeh
Early in the morning here.
1. Boissiere
Neither do I : I gave his Arythmachia for two reasons :
- as an example of the rules of winning victory in the game still in use at these time
- and most of all because if the expression 'jeu pythagorique" used a little later by Gosselin "l ancien jeu de chartres pythagorique..."
2. D" Etaples connected to Lazarelli?
TRy do recall where you made this finding ...
Very interesting

Article HERMETISME in extenso as I can get it on Encyclopue Universalis : http://www.universalis.fr/encyclopedie/ ... naissance/

L'hermétisme à la Renaissance

C'est en 1460 environ qu'un moine apporta de Macédoine à Florence un manuscrit du Corpus Hermeticum. En 1463, Cosme de Médicis demanda à Marsile Ficin de le traduire en latin, et ce avant même de traduire Platon. Dans la Préface à sa traduction, Ficin, se référant à saint Augustin, fait d'Hermès le premier des théologiens : son enseignement aurait été transmis successivement à Orphée, à Aglaophème, à Pythagore, à Philolaos et enfin à Platon. Par la suite, Ficin placera Zoroastre en tête de ces prisci theologi, pour attribuer finalement à Zoroastre et Mercure un rôle identique dans la genèse de la sagesse antique : Zoroastre enseigna celle-ci chez les Perses en même temps que Mercure l'enseignait chez les Égyptiens. Ficin insista, en outre, sur la dimension prophétique des écrits d'Hermès, qui aurait prédit « la ruine de la religion antique, la naissance d'une nouvelle foi, l'avènement du Christ, le Jugement dernier, la Résurrection, la gloire des élus et le supplice des méchants ». La traduction de Ficin, imprimée dès 1471, fut le point de départ d'une véritable renaissance de l'hermétisme philosophique. Ainsi, c'est par une citation de l'Asclepius que Pic de la Mirandole (qui proposa, dans ses Conclusions, dix thèses « selon l'antique doctrine de l'Égyptien Mercure Trismégiste ») ouvrit son Oratio de hominis dignitate ; et, en 1488, une étonnante figure du Trismégiste, attribuée à Giovanni di Stefano, fut sculptée sur le pavement même de la cathédrale de Sienne.

En 1505, Lefèvre d'Étaples publia la traduction ficinienne du Pimandre avec l'Asclepius, auquel il joignit un commentaire où il se montre sensible à la valeur apologétique des Hermetica ; mais, préoccupé d'orthodoxie, il condamne certains de leurs aspects magiques.

I can say more about the connection between Lazzarelli and Champier. According to Hanegraaff, the intermediary between the two was probably Giovan "Mercurio" Correggio, the self-styled "son of God" whom Lazzarelli first encountered in 1481 Rome. In 1482 Lazzarelli gave him his translations of Tractates XVI-XVIII of the Corpus Hermeticum, which had not been in Ficino's manuscript.

Then in 1501, a year after Lazzarelli's death, Correggio went to Lyon, where Louis XII was staying, for the purpose of getting him to instigate a crusade against the infidels. While there, according to a letter from an Italian manuscript-hunter named Pierro Aleandro to the diarist Marin Sanudo (with whose works it is preserved), Correggio gave a work written by himself to the king, and a "similar work" to "the ambassador", from whom Aleandro says he "got it later". I am not sure who "the ambassador" is. Hanegraaff says Sanudo was "the Venetian ambassador", but if the letter was to him, why would Aleandro be telling him about it? Maria Paola Saci, cited in footnote 131, says it was given to "the orator", again unspecified.)

Saci (Ludovico Lazzerelli, 1999) examined the codex of Lazzarelli's translation, and says there are annotations in Aleandro's handwriting. So probably Aleandro brought it back to Venice with him, and then to Rome, "from where," Hanegraaff writes, "Egidio di Viterbo could have taken it to Viterbo."

In addition, while Correggio was with Louis XII in Lyon in 1501, the king had his claims to vast medical knowledge put to the test by two physicians (he was proved to have "superhuman knowledge," according to Trithemius, who heard this from a couple of acquaintances with occultist leanings). Aleandro's letter says only that one of these physicians was a Spaniard and the other a Frenchman. Carlo Vecce in Iacopo Sannazaro, 1988, pp. 18-19, identifies them as Gonsalvo di Toledo and his friend and colleague Symphorien Champier, who of course is the one who published Lazzarelli's translations in 1507.

Haanegraaff concludes:
Aleandro's letter therefore confirms what has already been assumed by scholars for some time: Correggio's visit to Louis XII in 1501 was a crucial event in view of the diffusion of the Hermetica in Latin translations from Italy to France.
The relevant documentation is in Hanegraaff's introductory essay to Lodovico Lazzarelli (1447-1500), pp. 40-41.

He does not say how d'Estaples got a copy of Lazzarelli's Crater Hermetis so as to print his expurgated version. He, like Champier, was in Lyon in 1501. He also traveled to Italy occasionally. But at the time of his 1483 visit to Florence, the Crater Hermetis wasn't yet written (not until c. 1490). And I know of no record of communication between Lazzarelli and Ficino, or of Lazzarelli's visiting Florence.

Correggio did go to Florence, in 1486, in rather uncongenial circumstances. Il Magnifico had him arrested and turned over to the Franciscan Inquisition, which sneeringly subjected him to public examination in shackles. That the self-declared Pimander, spiritual son of Hermes Trismegistus, could be so treated by Lorenzo somewhat shocks Hanegraaff. I'd think it was other language that caused him problems, his claiming to be "son of God".

Good job Mikeh.
About D'Etaples and Ficino in Italy of Encyclopedia Universalis, I suppose the informations came from the indications given by Champier

other informations : http://forum.tarothistory.com/download ... hp?id=1743


Notes de lecture :
Champier 1471 1539 i Doctor in medecine of Lyon is a disciple and a commentator somewhere in concurrence of D Etaples and Ficino..
Ficino havig written De triplici vita, Champier writes De quadruplici vita
D Etaples publishes 1505 what could be thought as the Corpus Hermeticum, Champier publishes 1507 the Definitiones
Asclepii
i that D taples did not know about and in 1508 a THeologia Trismegista
His essential interest for us is the publication in 1507 of the Definotiones Asclepii discovered and translated by Lazarelli
How did he discover this text? Lazarelli was dead in 1500.
As you noted, K Ohly believes that the master ofLazarelli, Jean Mercure de Corregio came to France to do so.
The book dedicated to D'Etaples by Champier also gives indications of D'Etaples journey's in Italy
