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. 606 $aMental efficiency$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aDonkeys$vMiscellanea 615 0$aMental efficiency$xHistory 615 0$aDonkeys 676 $a195 700 $aBruno$b Giordano$f1548-1600.$045390 701 $aSondergard$b Sidney L$01813584 701 $aSowell$b Madison U.$f1952-$01813585 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962823703321 996 $aThe Cabala of Pegasus$94366826 997 $aUNINA
