Giordano Bruno (Illustrated)
The first part of the present work €œThe Life of Bruno€ is based upon the documents published by Berti, Dufour, and others, and on the personal references in Bruno€s own works. I have tried to throw some light on Bruno€s life in England, on his relations with the French Ambassador, Mauvissi¨re, and on his share in some of the literary movements of the time. I have, however, been no more successful than others in finding any documents referring directly to Bruno€s visit to England.
In the second part€"The Philosophy of Bruno€"I have sought to give not a systematic outline of Bruno€s philosophy as a whole under the various familiar headings, which would prove an almost impossible task, but a sketch, as nearly as possible in Bruno€s own words, of the problems which interested this mind of the sixteenth century, and of the solutions offered.
