Giordano Bruno’s Cabala del cavallo pegaseo (The Cabala of
Pegasus) grew out of the great Italian philosopher’s experiences
lecturing and debating at Oxford in early 1584. Having received a
cold reception there because of his viewpoints, Bruno went on in
the Cabala to attack the narrow-mindedness of the university--and
by extension, all universities that resisted his advocacy of
intellectual freethinking. The Cabala of Pegasus consists of
vernacular dialogues that turn on the identification of the noble
Pegasus (the spirit of poetry) and the humble ass (the vehicle of
divine revelation). In the interplay of these ideas, Bruno explores
the nature of poetry, divine authority, secular learning, and
Pythagorean metempsychosis, which had great influence on James
Joyce and many other writers and artists from the Renaissance to
the modern period. This book, the first English translation of The
Cabala of Pegasus, contains both the English and Italian versions
as well as helpful annotations. It will have particular appeal to
all Renaissance scholars and those interested in the Renaissance
cabalistic underpinnings of modern literature.
