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.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book provides an introduction to topological groups and the
structure theory of locally compact abelian groups, with a special
emphasis on Pontryagin-van Kampen duality, including a completely
self-contained elementary proof of the duality theorem. Further
related topics and applications are treated in separate chapters
and in the appendix.
