Bruno publishes De innumerabilibus, immenso et infigurabili

In 1591 Bruno published De innumerabilibus, immenso et infigurabili (De immenso) in the Frankfurt orbit, a Latin cosmological poem-treatise restating innumerable worlds and an immense universe as a public teaching object. It is not the 1584 Italian Infinito, not the arrest, and not the pyre. In the causal graph this event strengthens Digital Learning Access, a driver that weakens Learning Poverty Rate (low- and middle-income countries) — an improving welfare path.

Read the full account

In 1591 Bruno published De innumerabilibus, immenso et infigurabili (De immenso) in the Frankfurt orbit, a Latin cosmological poem-treatise restating innumerable worlds and an immense universe as a public teaching object. It is not the 1584 Italian Infinito, not the arrest, and not the pyre. He wrote; German printers issued. The row stores a last major public cosmology. 1584 Infinito remains the vernacular neighbour; Mocenigo’s house is not this plate; the 1592 arrest is a later legal machine, not a 1591 colophon.

Context

A Latin restatement after Italian dialogues is still education: a different language public. It is not a safer recantation. Frankfurt’s fair was a print harbour. Prague had been a stop. Italy was the risk. Infinite worlds here are knowledge-access, as in 1584; the legal harm comes later. Mocenigo’s house is not this colophon; the 1592 arrest is not this Frankfurt plate; Cena remains an earlier Italian title.

That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Why it matters

Improving education path: a last public immense-universe book. High confidence on 1591. Modest weight. Mocenigo return remains a risk row. 1584 Infinito remains an earlier vernacular neighbour.

Shared responsibility is part of Bruno publishes De innumerabilibus, immenso et infigurabili. Naming Giordano Bruno does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1591-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

What the sources establish

BnF data tracks the 1591 Frankfurt-orbit Latin works. Britannica independently dates the late German publications and the 1591 return toward Italy. Official: https://data.bnf.fr/en/11894221/giordano_bruno/ (opens in a new tab). Independent: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Giordano-Bruno (opens in a new tab). SEP is a finding aid. The records establish 1591 De immenso. They do not establish a unique later astrophysics series. Mocenigo did not co-write it; 1584 Infinito is an earlier vernacular neighbour; 1600 is not this plate. A missing 1591 title would change the row.

Established: Bruno published De immenso in 1591. Not established: that Mocenigo co-wrote it, or that 1600 is this book alone. A showing of no 1591 Latin cosmology would change the row.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. De immenso is not the Mocenigo invitation as a trap and not 1600. Mixed effects of Bruno publishes De innumerabilibus, immenso et infigurabili are separate paths.
