The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast: Spaccio della bestia trionfante

English

By (author): Giordano Bruno

Published in London in 1584, The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast is Giordano Brunos first work of moral philosophy. It is dedicated with a long Explicatory Letter to Elizabeth Is most cultured courtier, Sir Philip Sidney. It is a book about moral reform, expelling the beasts of evil, and putting virtues in their place. Its theme is presented as an allegorical drama in which ancient myths assume modern meanings questioning the ways in which moral and religious reform have been conceived in both the ancient world and the cultures of Renaissance Europe.

This new Italian text, based on the original printed text of 1584 held in the British Library, presents a less modernized version than those presently available, while maintaining a modern page format. The aim is to provide a text closer to the sound of Brunos original mix of classical Tuscan Italian and Neapolitan dialectical forms. This edition also presents a new translation designed to render Brunos complex and baroque Italian into easily readable modern English.

Hilary Gatti introduces The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast, underlining Brunos meta-literary reflection on the nature of allegory and myth as well as the dramatic structure of his text. Drama, philosophy, and religion combine in this work to give an epic dimension to the perennial cosmic battle between evil and good.

About Giordano Bruno

Giordano Bruno (15481600) born Filippo Bruno was an Italian Dominican friar philosopher mathematician poet and cosmological theorist. He is known for his cosmological theories which conceptually extended the then-novel Copernican model. In addition to cosmology Bruno also wrote extensively on the art of memory a loosely organized group of mnemonic techniques and principles. Other studies of Bruno have focused on his qualitative approach to mathematics and his application of the spatial concepts of geometry to language. Hilary Gatti is a former associate professor in the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy at the Università di Roma La Sapienza.
