EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of "De l Infinito Universo et Mondi" by Giordano Bruno, published in London in 1584. The image, captured by an English School artist from the 16th century, is now housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Giordano Bruno was a renowned philosopher and cosmologist who wrote six dialogues during his stay in England as a guest of the French ambassador. These treatises were dedicated to Michel de Castellneau, Marquis de Mauvissiere. One of his most notable works included in this collection is "On the Infinite Universe and Worlds" which served as a critique of Aristotelian physics. Interestingly, these books were printed in London but claimed to originate from Venice as a means to protect against censorship. This clever tactic allowed Bruno's ideas to reach readers without facing potential backlash or suppression. The intricate details on this title page reflect both Aristotle's influence on cosmology and Fulke Greville's involvement with publishing. It serves as a visual representation of Bruno's groundbreaking theories that challenged traditional scientific beliefs. Through this photo print, we are transported back to the intellectual world of Renaissance Europe where philosophers like Giordano Bruno fearlessly explored new frontiers of knowledge. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and our constant pursuit for understanding the infinite universe around us.
