Between 1617 and 1621 the English physician and polymath Robert Fludd published his masterwork Utriusque Cosmi, a book split into two volumes and packed with over 60 intricate engravings. Urszula Szulakowska explores the philosophical and theological ideas behind the extraordinary images found in the second part of the work. Robert Fludd was a respected English physician (of Welsh origins) employed at the court of King James I of England.

He was a prolific writer of vast, multi-volume encyclopaedias in which he discussed a universal range of topics from magical practices such as alchemy, astrology, kabbalism and fortune-telling, to radical theological thinking concerning the inter-relation of God with the natural and human worlds. Fludd’s most famous work is the History of the Two Worlds (Utriusque Cosmi … Historia, 1617-21) published in five volumes by Theodore de Bry in Oppenheim. Fludd himself was a staunch member of the Anglican Church. Category:Quality images of Muséum de Toulouse. Public Domain paintings by Don Davis. These are some of my works commissioned by various NASA facilities. They are offered here to provide something like definitive digital versions of such images, and unfortunately the NASA centers can rarely do this. You paid for them and they're yours. My work on this page only was created in the public domain, elsewhere on my site I claim copyright on the artwork and text.

I would like to encourage people who enjoy this work to place the images on this page onto other sites for further distribution rather than linking directly to my site, so as to fairly distribute the bandwidth use. I have yet to temporarily pull this page due to bandwidth issues, but I came close February 07!
