It presents a revolutionary cosmology founded on the new Copernican astronomy that Bruno extends to infinite dimensions, filling it with an endless number of planetary systems. As well as opening up the traditional closed universe and reducing earth to a tiny speck in an overwhelmingly immense cosmos, Bruno offers a lively description of his clash of opinions with the conservative academics and theologians he argued with in Oxford and London. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume, containing what has recently been claimed as the final version of Bruno's \u003ci\u003eAsh Wednesday Supper\u003c\/i\u003e, presents a new translation based on a newly edited text, with critical comment that takes account of the most current discussion of the textual, historical, cosmological and philosophical issues raised in this dialogue. It considers Bruno's work as a seminal text of the late European renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giordano Bruno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487521405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487521400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Giordano Bruno","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217005236479,"sku":"9781487521400","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_983833b1-e254-4afe-81f3-b6fa67051c47.jpg?v=1728513997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ash-wednesday-supper-giordano-bruno-9781487521400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
