Book Description:

In this interpretation of the thought of the heretical philosopher Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), Karen de L.-Jones depicts the influential thinker as mystic and cabbalist. She rejects the popular view of Bruno as hermetic magus - a position initiated by Frances Yates and widely accepted by succeeding scholars. Bruno's interest in mysticism and the Kabbalah was not merely intellectual or satiric, de L.-Jones contends: a close look at his study of the Kabbalah reveals him as a practising believer.
