Robert Fludd was an
Elizabethan alchemist who wrote voluminously on Rosicrucianism and
alchemical thought, applying their doctrines to a vast description of
man and the universe. Far ahead of his time, he recognized the
universality of truth, whether from Catholic or Protestant sources,
from the Hebrew Bible, from Pythagoras, Plato, or Hermes Trismegistus.
Fludd had a genius for expressing his philosophy and cosmology in
graphic form, and his works were copiously illustrated by some of the
best engravers of his day.
