Zusammenfassung:"Giordano Bruno (1548‒1600) has long been an enigmatic figure in the history of early modern European philosophy. An itinerant Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer, Bruno was burned at the stake after the Roman Inquisition found him guilty of heresy. In De gli eroici furori, his longest, most complex vernacular dialogue, he presents his groundbreaking cosmological theories in the form of passionate love poetry and pungent prose. Composed and published between 1584 and 1585 in the heart of Elizabethan London, De gli eroici furori is Bruno at his most inspired. In it he sets forth his daring ideas about the infinite expanse of the universe, while praising philosophy as a love that ranges from the ruggedly physical to the sublimely spiritual. Much more than a dialogue, the work is a scientific treatise by the most innovative cosmologist of his era, as well as a veritable anthology of Italian love poetry, with a collection of more than seventy sonnets, emblems, versicles, and songs, some of them borrowed from other writers, but most of them his own. This new bilingual edition presents the text in its original Italian along with a precise yet elegant English translation in both rhymed verse and prose by Ingrid Rowland. In addition to her substantial introduction, Rowland provides detailed annotation that sheds light on the philosophical sources, biblical allusions, and biographical elements that make Brunos work both richly conceived and challenging to understand."--
