"Placing Bruno, both advanced philosopher and magician burned at the stake, in the Hermetic tradition, Yates's acclaimed study gives an overview not only of Renaissance humanism but of its interplay, and conflict, with magic and occult practices." - University of Chicago Press 

"A decisive contribution to the understanding of Giordano Bruno, this book will probably remove a great number of misrepresentations that still plague the tormented figure of the Nolan prophet." - Giorgio de Santillana, American Historical Review
