Catalogue Note
Fludd was a successful London physician with good connections, but his prolific writings were much more concerned with neoplatonism and the occult than traditional medicine. His books were all printed on the Continent, as he did not have to pay towards the production costs which he would have done in London, with the result that they were little read in England.
