Giordano Bruno: Mystic and Martyr

By Eva Martin

Book Overview

Giordano Bruno: Mystic and Martyr is a biography written by Eva Martin about the life and death of the Italian philosopher, astronomer, and occultist Giordano Bruno. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Bruno's life, from his early years as a Dominican monk to his later years as a wandering philosopher and writer. Martin explores Bruno's revolutionary ideas, including his belief in an infinite universe and the existence of other worlds, which put him at odds with the Catholic Church and led to his eventual arrest and execution for heresy. The book also delves into Bruno's mystical and occult beliefs, which were influenced by the works of ancient philosophers such as Pythagoras and Plato. Martin's biography is a detailed and engaging account of one of the most fascinating and controversial figures of the Renaissance, and sheds light on the intellectual and religious climate of the time.1921. Giordano Bruno is one of the most remarkable figures in the history of the Middle Ages. Ardent champion of freedom of thought in an age hide- bound by tradition, impetuous, brilliant, enthusiastic, and daring, he has been well described as �������a comet that flashed across Europe.������� �������This blazing spark of a fiery life������� is the expression used by another writer; while a third has declared that �������the red glow of Bruno's funeral pyre was the rosy dawn of modern thought in Europe.������� This little book relates a short biographical account of this intriguing man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
