This translation attempts to render the "purple prose" of Bruno faithfully, and best captures his discursive modes. In the work of related humanists such as Fludd this approach would work masterfully, one cannot help but admire Gosnell's erudition. However, the aesthetics of certain passages, adorned by high renais. latin is inimitable. The books methods are useless without an intrinsic grasp of Neoplatonism!

For anyone who has never contemplated the life of prostitutes, hustlers, brigands ect. during the Renaissance. The book holds a strange facination even when one detects that savage note of historical trying too-hardism. Even then, the bawdy scenes will keep you reading. A comfort for those with cursed lives.
