Here he attended at the edition of two works: De specierum scrutinio, a lullian text composed of De lampade combinatoria Lulliana and De compendiosa architectura, and Articuli centum et sexaginta adversus mathematicos. If the first recalled the two lullian works published by Bruno in Paris and Wittenberg, the second offered a new geometrical model, founded on minimum, a new conceptual object under which he brought together unity, atom and geometrical point. Thus, here he began a new theoretical season which reached its fulfillment with the Frankfurt poems, especially De triplici minimo et mensura. In this article I aim to demonstrate the intellectual framework, from Prague to Helmstedt, which supported Bruno’s philosophical searching about this new status of matter, within this peculiar theory of atomistic geometry. I focus my reflections on those students who met Bruno at Helmstedt and followed him to Padua.

un denso stratificarsi di testimoni e riferimenti secondari, tra i quali
spiccano le citazioni aristoteliche e platoniche. Ed è proprio tra questi
due autori, Aristotele e Platone, che si colloca l’utilizzo strumentale
da parte di Bruno della figura e del pensiero di Pitagora e della sua
Scuola, usati come mezzo concettuale per accentuare in senso
universale e infinitistico certi aspetti naturalistici dell’aristotelismo
e, al tempo stesso e in una direzione opposta, depotenziare la
trascendenza dell’ontologia platonica, portandola a maggiore
‘contatto’ e prossimità teorica con la propria visione di una natura
infinita e in incessante trasformazione. In questa ottica Pitagora e il
pitagorismo risultano essere, agli occhi di Bruno, fondamento primario
di una concezione unitaria del cosmo – derivato dalla monade –,
importante paradigma concettuale per esplorare e approfondire l’idea
dell’animazione spirituale dell’universo e, infine, archetipo teorico
per una visione corpuscolare e atomistica della materialità.

It envolves that human cognition, experience and thought proceed from nature, while the whole physical universe belongs straightly
from divine essence. Then an unique and eternal substance projects itself from natural bodies on human mind through sensory experience and imagination: the fragmentation and scattering of thruth of an infinite variety of raw data of experience makes arise the need for a regulative method, capable of composing them in an vision unified, as close as possible, how the complexity of natural cosmos is.

Its genesis and composition is a typicall expression of Bruno's peregrinatio, that is the art to gain the core concepts of its revolutionay philosophy proceeding from memory. The Sigillus sigillorum develops a comparaison with the theories of Marsilio Ficino towards the faculties of the soul, the connection between soul and body, and generally about knowledge means. In this work, basing his though about organical relationship between phantasy, memory and intellect...

Indeed, their own theoretical frameworks are completely different, because the Christian and theological background of Lull's system is totally absent in Bruno's perspective. Lull settles his universe unfolding a triadic and hierarchic transmission from God down to materiality, (passing through human faculties), as the nine degrees of the Alphabet symbolize. Differently, Bruno develops a natural philosophy within an infinite cosmological horizon, absolutely detached from God, without any hierarchy inside: all beings-be they stars, planets or human beings-are ontologically equal, made by the same matter, be alive due to a unique universal soul. Consequently, human beings are totally absorbed by the natural world, as well as their knowledge. Though, hostile to any mystical and anthropocentric perspective, Bruno only faces God through the infinity of the whole nature: in fact the «Eorico furioso» prefers contemplating naked Diana's inner essence-i.e. the substantia naturalis-, to Apollo's surface that theologists used to inquire by reason. This theoretical stance is partially due to a shift from a Platonic gnoseology to a 'hard' Aristotelianism: what we know is not proper ideas, but «shadows of ideas» (umbrae idearum) projecting truth from God (the «light»), through nature (the «dark body») to the mind (the «shadowy surface»). Thus, human knowledge completely results in natural and perceptible experience: the more complex and complete it is, the more it will tend to be true. Finally, rationalism is only a part of the whole intellectual process, whereas the central role has played by fantasy as a 'screen' which connects reality with inner concepts: every thought belongs to a particular image and-forcing Aristotle's De anima-without images, man cannot think at all.
