alfiusdebux: Robert Fludd: Illustrations to the treaty Utriusque Cosmi, Maioris scilicet et Minoris, metaphysica, physica, atque technica Historia (The metaphysical, physical, and technical history of the two worlds, namely the greater and the lesser) published in Germany between 1617 and 1621. Robert Fludd, also known as Robertus de Fluctibus (1574 - 1637) was a prominent English Paracelsian physician. He is remembered as an astrologer, mathematician, cosmologist, and Rosicrucian apologist, best known for his compilations in occult philosophy. He had a celebrated exchange of views with Johannes Kepler concerning the scientific and hermetic approaches to knowledge. According to Frances Yates, these illustrations of Fludd’s memory system (described in detail in her The Art of Memory) may reflect the lay-out of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
