A Primer to Giordano Bruno: New Age Prophet, Mystic and Heretic (The Essential Giordano Bruno Book 1)

An overview of the ideas of visionary Giordano Bruno, an irascible thinker who wandered the courts of Renaissance Europe preaching New Age 20th century ideals to royalty. In Venice, he was betrayed to the Inquisition in 1592. After eight years in the prisons of Rome, he was burned at the stake in 1600 to celebrate the new centuryâ€”a religious and Scientific martyr for his belief in unity, the sanctity of Earth, all men and women, and the divinity of matter on other worlds throughout an infinite space. He is suppressed by the church to this day but, down the ages, his followers include Shakespeare, Schiller, Shelling, Kepler, Galileo, Coleridge, Walt Whitman, Victor Hugo, James Joyce and Marshall McLuhan. A statue was erected to him in 1889 in the Campo dei Fiori, Rome, commemorating the unification of Italy. Bruno is honored by his followers today as the first martyr to freedom of thought.
