In several places of his works, Campanella shows his acquaintance with astronomical issues and the various proposals put forword by astronomers in order to provide a consistent description of celestial motions. This knowledge becomes the instrument for an apocalyptic view that restricts the role of astronomy to the announcement of the impending end of the world: the anomalies observed in the sky are seen as God's intervention in nature, and they are interpreted as signs of the next sun falling to the earth.

Abstract
In several places of his works, Campanella shows his acquaintance with astronomical issues and the various proposals put forword by astronomers in order to provide a consistent description of celestial motions. This knowledge becomes the instrument for an apocalyptic view that restricts the role of astronomy to the announcement of the impending end of the world: the anomalies observed in the sky are seen as God's intervention in nature, and they are interpreted as signs of the next sun falling to the earth.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
