On this day, the Italian philosopher, poet, alchemist, astrologer, cosmological theorist, and esotericist, Giordano Bruno, was burned alive at the stake in the central Roman market square, Campo de’ Fiori, having been found guilty of heresy by the Roman Inquisition. Bruno was accused of denying several core Catholic doctrines, including eternal damnation, the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the virginity of Mary, and transubstantiation. Modern historians are divided as to whether his trial was a response to his cosmological views or his religious views, but wherever the truth may lie, his case is considered a landmark in the history of free thought and the emerging sciences.
