Centoventi articoli sulla natura e sull'universo contro i Peripatetici / Centum et viginti articuli de natura et mundo adversus Peripateticos

The booklet entitled "Centum et viginti articuli de natura et mundo adversus Peripateticos" constitutes the text of Giordano Bruno's theses against Aristotle's "Physica" and "De caelo", which he proposed and defended in Paris on 28 May 1586. Bruno published the theses on the occasion of a public disputation which was to last three days but which was abruptly suspended after the first session, during which some of those present vehemently contested the more radical theses defended by the philosopher (Bruno would return to these articles in his "Camoeracensis acrotismus", 1588). We only know of one extant copy of the short work written in 1586 (housed at the British Library in London), the text of which is being reproduced in the present volume together with some corrections, annotations and an Italian translation.
