Such extraordinary characteristics could not but catch the attention of Cusanus. He glimpsed the possibility of using it to his purpose. Truly in it there is a certain exclusiveness, or transcendence, along with an omnicomprehensiveness, which seemed to provide the best conditions for constructing another “name” of God: He is Non Aliud with respect to the being of every thing.
