Read the full account
In 1584 Bruno published De l’infinito, universo e mondi, the Italian dialogue arguing an infinite universe with innumerable worlds, not merely a Copernican rearrangement of one system. It is not Cena, not a spacecraft, and not the later inquisitorial proposition list — though inquisitors did care about innumerable worlds among other articles. He wrote vernacular cosmology; a shop sold it. The row stores knowledge-access. It does not claim 1600 was this title alone, and it does not claim he died solely for heliocentrism.
Context
Infinite worlds were both a philosophical argument and, in canon-law weather, a heresy-adjacent thesis. The 1592–1600 legal machine is harm done to the defendant, stored on arrest, refusal, and execution rows. Elizabeth’s England as print-harbour is related-person colour via the embassy, not a royal scientific statute. A world-multiplicity argument can improve knowledge-access and later appear on a charge list; those are different dates. Galileo’s 1633 file is another court. NASA catalogues are other centuries. Cena remains a different 1584 title.
Shared responsibility is part of Bruno publishes De l’infinito, universo e mondi. Naming Giordano Bruno does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1584-01-01 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.
Why it matters
High confidence on 1584. Modest-to-medium weight. Execution remains a later humanitarian harm on a complex charge-sheet. Cena remains Copernican-supper education.

He wrote the 1584 Italian dialogue on an infinite universe and innumerable worlds. London print issued it. Complex author, not a later exoplanet agency.

Printed infinite-worlds argument increased public knowledge-access to a cosmology larger than one sun, a modest data path. Later heresy files are not this colophon.

What the sources establish
A public-domain On the Infinite Universe and Worlds is on Internet Archive. SEP independently dates the 1584 infinite-worlds dialogue and discusses its role among Bruno’s cosmological claims, distinct from a heliocentrism-only story. Official/public carrier: https://archive.org/details/oninfiniteuniver00brun (opens in a new tab). Independent: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/bruno/ (opens in a new tab). The records establish 1584 print of innumerable worlds. They do not establish that 1600 had no other articles. A missing Infinito would change the row; NASA is not this shop book; Galileo 1633 is another court. A missing 1584 Infinito would change the row.
Established: Bruno published De l’infinito, universo e mondi in 1584. Not established: that this book is the sole 1600 cause, or that he was burned only for Copernicus. A showing of no 1584 infinite-worlds title would change the row.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Infinite worlds in 1584 print is not the 1600 pyre and not a NASA catalogue. Mixed effects of Bruno publishes De l’infinito, universo e mondi are separate paths.
That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
