Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Giordano Bruno
Nacido en 1548 en el Virreinato español de Nápoles, abandona en 1576 la orden de los dominicos para emprender una vida nómada que le llevó a Francia, Inglaterra, Alemania, Bohemia, Suiza y, de nuevo, a Italia. En esas condiciones escribió su vasta obra filosófica, mnemotécnica y mágica. Prendido por la Inquisición en 1593 y trasladado a Roma, murió abrasado en la hoguera en 1600.
