DESCRIPTION:
All of Fludd's important plates are collected here for the first time, annotated and explained together with an introduction to his life and thought.. Born in Elizabethan England, he became a convinced occultist while traveling on the Continent. His voluminous writings were devoted to defending the philosophy of the alchemists and Rosicrucians and applying their doctrines to a vast description of man and the universe. Robert Fludd was one of the last of the true Renaissance men who tool all learning as their preserve and tried to encompass the whole of human knowledge

The best available This book is a collection of diagrams and illustrations from Robert Fludd books. This is probably the best collection available today. Each picture has a short explanation underneath. Until Fludd's works are re-released this is basically it.. Magnifical pictures and plates. A Customer A beautful book, maybe the most wonderful Godwin's work. The plates and pictures just are comparable with a Manly Hall's "magnus opus", "The Secret Things of All Ages". Good spend of money.. Five Stars Amazing book!!!!
