English edition. To memorize anything, distribute vivid, emotionally stirring imagined images around a piece of familiar architecture. This is the method of loci, or memory palace method, first developed in classical antiquity. Giordano Bruno perfected the art in the late 16th Century. He published a series of books on the subject, beginning with De Umbris Idearum (On the Shadows of Ideas). His work and life would lead him across the major centers of Renaissance Europe, to the patronage of kings and nobles, the scorn and envy of academics, and ultimately to his imprisonment and execution at the hands of the Roman Inquisition in 1600.Bruno’s works have been reprinted periodically since his death. The current edition is the first complete English translation to be published.

fantastic. For me

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

The value of this book to me is its total subversity. Bruno's complex minimalism and cutting edge logic reveals the contemporary imposters who sentenced Bruno to be burnt at the stake. A celelebration. This book will open doors which unlock individual timeless memories. Playful, erotic, fantastic. For me: small doses.

At last! A book of great utility is presented to all and we are fortunate.

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2013

This is a book I have been longing to read, but until this clear, careful translation I never had the opportunity. It may appear to be an arcane topic but the useful qualities of the method for memory set out in this book are simply sublime and quite applicable. This book makes the technique available to everyone and I bow in hommage to the author.

Decent Book

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2018

Translation is garbage. Is however not something that makes this book uninteresting. Is still compelling and interesting book. But kind of had a feel of being something you'd check out of a high school library and read. Definitely not authoritative.

Very good if you are interested in medieval philosophy, and the art of memory, or, the "Memory Palace". . .

What a nice package

The bubble plastic wrapping it came in was amazing. I should have ordered it on Febuary 17th. I like looking at the pictures on the cover. It's nice. Reminds me of Febuary 17th 1600s.

Verified Purchase

De Umbris Idearum is the key to the thinking of Giordano Bruno. This is the first English translation, and it is an excellent clearly written work. The translator, Scott Gosnell has worked miracles in getting this book into intelligible modern English. This book is indispensable for anybody interested in the work of Bruno, or in Renaissance occult philosophy.

Urtext for free thought at the height of the Roman Catholic Inquisition. He was hung upside down naked before he was finally burned at the stake on February 17, 1600 primarily for claiming the existence of a plurality of worlds and their eternity.
