"Giordano Bruno: Apocalypse and Kabbalah"

In several works Bruno combines themes and ideas from the Kabbalah and the Apocalypse. Francesco Giorgi and Heinrich Agrippa von Nettesheim, among other Renaissance Kabbalists, had done so too but, unconventional though their views might be, they had aspired to remain within the bounds of orthodoxy. Bruno, by contrast, had no such scruples. The Kabbalah and the Apocalypse were two aspects of the same Jewish religion, one that, at best, preserved traces of the ancient wisdom of Egypt, at worst, knowingly peddled lies and false promises.

Link forthcoming.
