Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition by Frances Yates
In 1600, renagade philosopher and theologian Giordano Bruno was burnt at the stake in Rome. His crime was to preach a doctrine of brotherhood, peace and free love. Four centuries later, he is known as the Prophet of the New Age.'This brilliant book takes time to digest, but it is an intellectual adventure to read it' – Hugh Trevor-Roper, The New Statesman
'Explodes the idea that the intellectual foundations of the Renaissance were exclusively logical and coherent, and lets back the mysterious into history' – BBC History Magazine

'Among those who have explored the intellectual world of the sixteenth century no one in England can rival Miss Yates. Wherever she looks, she illuminates. Now she has looked on Bruno. This brilliant book takes time to digest, but it is an intellectual adventure to read it. Historians of ideas, of religion and of science will study it. Some of them, after reading it, will have to think again. That will be no bad thing.' – The New Statesman
Dame Frances Yates (1899-1981). Brought about the revival of interest in the historical role of the occult sciences.
