| Publisher Description: 1921. Giordano Bruno is one of the most remarkable figures in the history of the Middle Ages. Ardent champion of freedom of thought in an age hide- bound by tradition, impetuous, brilliant, enthusiastic, and daring, he has been well described as "a comet that flashed across Europe." "This blazing spark of a fiery life" is the expression used by another writer; while a third has declared that "the red glow of Bruno's funeral pyre was the rosy dawn of modern thought in Europe." This little book relates a short biographical account of this intriguing man. |
