Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition by Frances A Yates

Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition by Frances A Yates

Emphasizing the primary importance of Hermetism in Renaissance thought, Yates demonstrates that Bruno was at once a rational philospher and a magician - burned at the stake - with an unorthodox religious message. Her acclaimed study gives an overview not only of Renaissance humanism but of its interplay - and conflict - with magic and occult practices.

Dame Francis Yates (1899-1981) was a Reader in Renaissance History at the University of London's Warburg Institute. She was named a Dame of the British Empire in 1977 for her services to Renaissance studies, and she was the leading Renaissance scholar of her day. The Art of Remembering and The Rosicrucian Enlightenment are two of her other books.
