What subjects did Giordano Bruno explore in his Latin poems written at Helmstedt?

Created from Britannica articles using AI. AI can make mistakes, so verify using Britannica articles.

During his time in Helmstedt, Giordano Bruno worked on three Latin poems: De triplici minimo et mensura (ā€œOn the Threefold Minimum and Measureā€), De monade, numero et figura (ā€œOn the Monad, Number, and Figureā€), and De immenso, innumerabilibus et infigurabilibus (ā€œOn the Immeasurable and Innumerableā€).1

These works served to reelaborate the philosophical theories he had previously expounded in his Italian dialogues. Specifically, these poems developed his concept of an atomic basis of matter and being.1
