To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Paris in 1624, twenty- four years after Bruno 's death, the theologians induced parliament to issue a decree against all who publicly opposed Aristotle. Five years after the same parliament, urged by the theo- BRUNO THE WANDERER 95 logical department of the University of Paris the Sorbonne decreed that an attack on Aristotle should be considered and dealt with as an attack on the Church.
The strength of Aristotle as an authority in the universities is well illustrated in the story told by Ge...orge Henry Lewes, who considers Bruno a figure in the history of philosophy. "A young student thought he observed spots on the sun and related the incident to a priest, by whom he was counseled as follows : 'My son, I have read Aristotle many times and I assure you there is nothing of the kind mentioned by him. Go rest in peace, and be certain that the spots you have seen are in your eyes and not in the sun. ' " In the intervals in which Bruno was not en- gaged in writing or in teaching in the univer- sities, he managed to make a scant livelihood as private tutor.
