Bruno collides with the Geneva consistory and leaves the city

In 1579 Bruno, having appeared in Geneva and even signed the Genevan Italian church’s book, collided with the consistory after attacking a local academic, and left the Reformed city under disciplinary weather. It is not the Toulouse lectures that followed, not Rome 1600, and not a claim Calvin personally tried him — Calvin was long dead. He insulted; elders disciplined. The row stores polarization of a confessional public. A later Catholic execution is a different machine. Signing a Genevan Italian-church book and then colliding with the consistory is still 1579 Reformed weather, not Campo de’ Fiori and not a Calvin personal trial — Calvin was dead.

Context

A man who fights both Dominicans and consistories is polarizing across confessions. Toulouse teaching remains an improving neighbour after the exit. A consistory is not an Inquisition; both can still harm a visitor’s public.

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

Why it matters

Worsening polarization path: a Reformed city against a visitor. High confidence on 1579. Modest weight. 1600 remains a later Catholic legal harm. Toulouse remains a later classroom.

Shared responsibility is part of Bruno collides with the Geneva consistory and leaves the city. Naming Giordano Bruno does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1579-05-01 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.
