In the first book of De imaginum compositione, Giordano Bruno mentions that it is the function of the imagination (phantasia), an “older and more proper contemplation”, to grasp God (XIV, nn. 10-15); in saying this, it seems to vindicate it in front of intellectual contemplation (the Greek theoreîn) as a way of accessing God. This work aims to ask about the way in which this statement takes place in Bruno’s particular thought. Our hypothesis is that the Brunian interpretation of this state-ment makes sense due to the atypical exaltation that is made of the universe, which explains what is complicated in God, and that we must look for if we are to contemplate it. To understand why, along these lines, it is the task of a more proper contemplation to capture this through the imagination, we propose the spirit (spiritus) as the key to approach this complex connection between imagination, nature and Principle. Hence, firstly, we will sketch the way in which Bruno poses the Principle in me-taphysical and cosmological terms; and, secondly, we will examine the way in which the imaginative faculty is conceived in his thought, to conclude with the figure of the master of images, the magician.
