Product Description
Robert Fludd (1574–1637) was a true Renaissance man: Kabbalist and alchemist, scientist and philosopher, astrologer and musician. Educated at Oxford, he practiced medicine in London, where he also set up a large alchemical laboratory. Fludd's richly illustrated writings cover the entire range of practical, scientific, divinatory, and speculative thought known at the time. William Huffman's anthology of his writings reintroduces a crucial player in the Western mystic tradition.
About the Author
William H. Huffman, Ph.D., is a native of St. Louis, Missouri, and presently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina. His lifelong interest in esoteric thought led him to doctoral studies in the history of philosophy, focusing on Platonism, and a concentration on the Renaissance Hermetic tradition. Under the inspiration of Frances Yates and others, he completed a study of Robert Fludd and the End of the Renaissance, published in 1988.

When I had carefully considered that the misery of this life would only be ended by blissful death, I observed that human wandering on earth should be compared... to the restless sea, which, when churned up with agitated waves, causes incessant danger to the corporeal ship propelled here and there on an uncertain course, and causes the sailor... to be utterly ignorant of how he might by chance bring his ship to an unknown port of good fortune.
