Rutgers: 1964. Hardcover in a jacket. Octavo. Slight chipping on the crown and heel of the jacket spine. A couple of small rubbing marks on the spine causing slight discoloration.  Price clipped jacket. Smudging on the spine of the book. Text is clean. 324 pages. Very good.
 
The Greek gods gather and deliberate over destroying the constellations which commemorate their pagan, evil deeds. Imerti's translation keeps Bruno's allegory both poetic and obscure, as it is in the original Italian. Beautiful jacket 60s jacket design. Look at it again and interpret after you spend some time with Bruno's ideas. There's also sixty pages of introduction in four chapters: The making of a heretic; Lo Spacio, its fortunes, literary aspects, allegory and summary; The heretical premises of Lo Spacio, their religious, social and political implications; The heretic and his trial.
 
"He is blind who does not see the sun, foolish who does not recognize it. ungrateful who is not thankful unto it, since so great is the light, so great the good, so great the benefit, through which it glows, through which it excels, through which it serves, the teacher of the senses, the father of substances, the author of life."
