Italian astronomer and Dominican friar Giordano Bruno
(1548–1600), found guilty of heresy by the Roman Inquisition and
burned at the stake, has long been an enigma of early modern
European philosophy. His central 1586 work On the Heroic Frenzies
has shown a particular need for a fresh examination. This vibrant
bilingual edition, annotated by celebrated Bruno scholar Ingrid D.
Rowland, features the text in its original Italian alongside an
elegant, accurate English translation. On the Heroic Frenzies is at
once a philosophical dialogue, an anthology of love poetry, and a
collection of sonnets, songs, and emblems – sometimes borrowed
from other writers, but primarily Bruno’s own. Rowland’s
detailed introduction and extensive footnotes highlight the
philosophical sources, Biblical allusions, and biographical
elements that make Bruno’s work both richly conceived and often
challenging to understand. Providing cohesive insights into
Bruno’s text, Rowland’s edition of On the Heroic Frenzies is a
helpful guide for those new to his work.
