Among Renaissance utopias, The City of the Sun is perhaps second in importance only to More's more famous work. There are striking similarities between Campanella's utopia and More's, but also striking differences which reflect both changed historical circumstances and the highly original nature of Campanella's thought. La citta del sole is one of many books written by Tommaso Campanella--philosopher, scientist, astrologer, and poet--while imprisoned in Naples for his part in rebellion against the Spanish and ecclesiastical authorities who ruled his native Calabria.

The City of the Sun is a dialogue between "a Grandmaster of the Knights Hospitaller and a Genoese Sea-Captain," The book describes a theocratic society where goods, women and children are held in common. It also resembles the City of Adocentyn in the Picatrix, an Arabic guide to magical town planning. In the final part of the work, Campanella prophesies - in the veiled language of astrology - that the Spanish kings, in alliance with the Pope, are destined to be the instruments of a Divine Plan: the final victory of the True Faith and its diffusion in the whole world.

Tommaso Campanellas 'Sonnenstadt' zählt zusammen mit Thomas Morus' 'Utopia' und Francis Bacons 'Neu-Atlantis' zu den klassischen Utopien der Neuzeit. Sie wird hier erstmals nach der italienischen Urfassung 'La Città del Sole' von 1602 übersetzt. Campanella hat sie unter dem Eindruck der gescheiterten Revolte gegen die spanische Herrschaft in Süditalien, die ihm eine fast 27-jährige Kerkerhaft einbrachte, verfasst. Die darin beschriebene Republik bildet den idealisierten Gegenentwurf zur realen Welt.

The City of the Sun by Tomaso Campanella, is located on an island in the Indian Ocean. This is one of the most important utopias, and may have influenced Bacon's New Atlantis. The City of the Sun was originally written in Italian in 1602, just after he was condemned to life imprisonment for sedition and heresy. It was later revised and a Latin version was written in 1613-14. The first printed edition in Latin was issued at Frankfurt in 1623. Campanella's heterodox views, especially his opposition to the authority of Aristotle, brought him into conflict with the ecclesiastical authorities....

La citta del Sole e un'opera filosofica del frate domenicano italiano Tommaso Campanella, del 1602. La prima edizione fu redatta in volgare fiorentino, adottando lo stile dialogico proprio della tradizione esoterica platonica: il testo fu poi piu volte tradotto in lingua latina, fino ad arrivare alla celebre edizione del 1623 di Francoforte, intitolata Civitas Solis idea republicae philosophica."

It is with diffidence that I offer a translation of Michael Angelo's sonnets, for the first time completely rendered into English rhyme, and that I venture on a version of Campanella's philosophical poems. My excuse, if I can plead any for so bold an attempt, may be found in this-that, so far as I am aware, no other...
