Download or read book The Renaissance Drama of Knowledge written by Hilary Gatti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giordano Bruno’s visit to Elizabethan England in the 1580s left its imprint on many fields of contemporary culture, ranging from the newly-developing science, the philosophy of knowledge and language, to the extraordinary flowering of Elizabethan poetry and drama. This book explores Bruno's influence on English figures as different as the ninth Earl of Northumberland, Thomas Harriot, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. Originally published in 1989, it is of interest to students and teachers of history of ideas, cultural history, European drama and renaissance England. Bruno's work had particular power and emphasis in the modern world due to his response to the cultural crisis which had developed - his impulse towards a new ‘faculty of knowing’ had a disruptive effect on existing orthodoxies – religious, scientific, philosophical, and political.
Download or read book John Dee s Actions with Spirits Volumes 1 and 2 written by Christopher Whitby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 1048 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was originally a two volume set which is now bound as one. Here is presented an investigation of the nature of the earliest extant records of the supposed communication with angels and spirits of John Dee (1527-1608) with the assistance of his two mediums or 'scryers', Barnabas Saul and Edward Kelly. Volume 2 of this work is a transcription of the records in Dee's hand contained in Sloane MS 3188, which has been transcribed only once before, by Elias Ashmole in 1672. Volume 1 is an introduction and thorough commentary to the text which is primarily explaining its many obscurities. The author describes the physical state of the manuscript and its history then continues with a biography of Dee and his scryers and some background to Renaissance occult philosophy. Further chapters address the arguments that the manuscript represents a conscious fraud or a cryptographical exercise and describe the magical system and instruments evolved during the communications or 'Actions'. The last, fascinating chapter examines Dee's motives for believing so strongly in the truth of the Actions and suggests that a principal motive was the conviction, not held by Dee alone, that a new age was about to dawn upon earth.
Download or read book The Sorcerers Stone written by Rachel A. Lott and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johann Angelus Silesius (1624–77) was a famous poet and mystic of the seventeenth century. This volume is the first to present his poems about the sorcerer’s stone and spiritual alchemy. The sorcerer’s stone appears alongside other alchemical images in Angelus’s masterwork, the Cherubinic Wanderer, as a metaphor for transformation in the Christian life. Just as alchemists transform lead into gold, so God can transform the human soul. This translation keeps Angelus’s original poetic forms while using accessible, colloquial modern English. The original German text is included.
