520 1 $a"The Italian genius Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) is one of the great figures of early modern Europe, and one of the least understood. Ingrid D. Rowland's life of Bruno - the first in English - establishes him once and for all as a major European thinker, and one whose vision of the world anticipates ours." "By the time Bruno was burned at the stake as a heretic during the so-called Holy Year of 1600 on Rome's Campo de Fiori - where a beloved statue of him now stands - he had taught in Naples, Rome, Venice, Geneva, France, England, Germany, and the "Magic Prague" of Emperor Rudolf II. His phenomenal powers of memory and his provocative ideas about the infinity of the universe had attracted the attention of the pope, the king of France, Queen Elizabeth of England - and the Inquisition, which imprisoned him for seven years before putting him to death in Rome as part of a year-long jubilee." "Rowland traces Bruno's wanderings through a sixteenth-century Europe where every certainty of religion and philosophy had been called into question, from the number of sacraments to the motion of the sun. She shows him struggling to find a way to live serenely in a world ruled by change, valiantly defending his ideas (and his right to maintain them) to the very end."--BOOK JACKET.
