(From the Preface, by L. Williams) The subject of "The Heroic Enthusiasts," written by Giordano Bruno in 1585, is the struggles of the Soul in its upward progress towards purification and freedom; the author makes use of lower things to picture and suggest the higher. The aim of the Heroic Enthusiast is to get at the Truth and to see the Light, and he considers that all the trials and sufferings of this life, are the cords which draw the soul upwards, and the spur which quickens the mind and purifies the will.The blindness of the soul may signify the descent into the material body, and "visit the various kingdoms" may be an allusion to the soul passing through the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms before it arrives at man.It is interesting to note that in the first part of "The Heroic Enthusiasts," Bruno makes a distinct allusion to the power of steam, and in the second part, one might almost think, that in using the number nine in connexion with the blind men, he intended a reference to electricity, for we read in "The Secret Doctrine," by H.P. Blavatsky: "There exists an universal agent unique of all forms and of life, that is called Od, Ob, and Aour, active and passive, positive and negative, like day and night; it is the first light in creation; and the first light of the primordial Elo-him-the A-dam, -male and female, or, (scientifically) Electricity and Life. Its universal value is nine, for it is the ninth letter of the alphabet and the ninth door of the fifty portals or gateways, that lead to the concealed mysteries of being.... Od is the pure life-giving Light or magnetic fluid

La Cabala del Cavallo Pegaseo, pubblicata a Londra nel 1585 insieme a l'Asino cillenico in unico testo, è uno dei sei dialoghi italiani scritti da Giordano Bruno. Il titolo allude a Pegaso, il cavallo alato della mitologia greca nato dal sangue di Medusa decapitata da Perseo, mentre Cabala si riferisce a una tradizione mistica originatasi in seno all'ebraismo."La Cabala," che può considerarsi continuazione e conclusione del precedente" Spaccio de la bestia trionfante," è un'opera di satira morale nella quale bersaglio dell'autore sono le religioni rivelate, cristianesimo ed ebraismo.*** Che vi val, curiosi, il studïare, / Voler saper quel che fa la natura, / Se gli astri son pur terra, fuoco e mare? //La santa asinità di ciò non cura; / Ma con man gionte e 'n ginocchion vuol stare, / Aspettando da Dio la sua ventura.(Cabala del cavallo pegaseo, In lode dell'asino)

Quindi l'ali sicure a l'aria porgo; / Né temo intoppo di cristallo o vetro, / Ma fendo i cieli e a l'infinito m'ergo. / E mentre dal mio globo a gli altri sorgo, / E per l'eterio campo oltre penetro: / Quel ch'altri lungi vede, lascio al tergo. Questo è il terzo dialogo filosofico che Giordano Bruno pubblica a Londra nel 1584, chiudendo il ciclo dei dialoghi cosmologici londinesi intrapreso con La cena de le ceneri e proseguito con De la causa, principio et uno. Sviluppando ulteriormente tematiche già iniziate in quelli, il rapporto fra un Dio immanente e un universo infinito da un lato, e la distinzione dei ruoli di teologia e filosofia dall'altro, il De l'infinito sancisce il punto definitivo di frattura del pensiero del filosofo sia con la dottrina aristotelica sia col cristianesimo.
