Frances Yates's Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition is more fun than any book about early modern proto-scientists/occultists has any right to be. Check it out if you're interested in Bruno.

Great book. Giordano Bruno is my favorite of the catholic magicians.

The hermetic beats the Gnostic any day
