Anyone familiar with him? I've been reading about him recently but I haven't been able to get hold of any of his actual work. Just now found an english translation of The Heroic Frenzies in the Twilight Grotto (Last time I went there it was for Agrippa and Dee) but everything else there is in Latin. Anyone read anything of his work?

he was big on the Art of Memory. You should read Ioan Petru Coulianou, the guy was fascinated with Bruno. Good translations are rarely available online, i suggest hardback scientiffic ones when it comes to Bruno, Mirandola or Cardanus.

Despite the fact that I had a dream in which I was walking through a library and picked up a book called Pico I prefer Bruno because he doesn't draw so much from Hebrew sources and completely embraces Hermetism above Christianity. Actually being as it was a dream that might have been Picatrix I saw, hmm.

bruno draws greatly from hebrew thought, albeit the hermetic or neoplatonic coverage. In my oppinion, Pico is just honest and blunt about his sources and doesn t go about camouflaging the whole deal. I d recomment the Bibliotheca Bruniana on the Warburn Institute website.
