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.
