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. . . . For Miss Yates has put Bruno  for the first time  in his tradition  and has shown what that tradition was.\" Hugh Trevor-Roper  New Statesman  \"A decisive contribution to the understanding of Giordano Bruno  this book will probably remove a great number of misrepresentations that still plague the tormented figure of the Nolan prophet.\" Giorgio de Santillana  American Historical Review  \"Yatess book is an important addition to our knowledge of Giordano Bruno. But it is even more important  I think  as a step toward understanding the unity of the sixteenth century.\" J. Bronowski  New York Review of Books\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45274289668149,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226950034","price":242.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780226950037.jpg?v=1780494820","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/giordano-bruno-and-the-hermetic-tradition-9780226950037","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
