About the Book

English summary: Robert Fludd's (1574-1637) Utriusque Cosmi Historia is a key work of mystical Naturphilosophie in the early modern era. It is an encyclopedia of all those theories excluded from the scientific canon due to their alleged superstition and irrationality. Fludd - medical scientist, astrologist, Kabbalist, mathematician and Naturphilosoph - develops a cosmology that depicts the influence of the stars on world events, as well as illustrating and describing in detail all the man-made arts and technologies during this period, which are explained in analogy with their celestial archetypes. The many illustrations make this book the most beautiful encyclopedia of the early modern era. Band 1: De metaphysico macrocosmi et creaturarum illius ortu. Physicomacrocosmi in generatione et corruptione progressu. Oppenheim 1617. This volume presents the history of creation and illustrates it with pictures, beginning with the creation of heaven and earth, followed by the emergence of plants, animals and, finally, man. Band 2,1-2: De physico macrocosmi et creaturarum illius ortu. De naturae simia seu technica macrocosmi historia. Oppenheim 1618 This volume contains an extensive and visual depiction of the human arts, covering mathematics, music, optics, painting, military technology, the study of automata, meteorology and astrology. Band 3: De supernaturali praeternaturali et contranaturali microcosmi historia. Oppenheim 1619. De technica microcosmi historia. [Oppenheim 1620]The third volume introduces Fludd's metaphysics and physics. His metaphysics is an outline of a speculative arithmetic based on Nicholas of Cusa's ideas; his physics illustrates in words and pictures the relation of microcosm and macrocosm and can thus be regarded as an overall view of Renaissance medicine and anthropology. Band 4,1-2: De praeternaturali utriusque mundi historia. Frankfurt 1621. Anatomiae Amphitheatrum. Frankfurt 1623 In the fourth volume, Fludd presents the Kabbalistic and Pythagorean basics of his encyclopedic theory. This work is the first major overall depiction of the Christian Kabbalah in the early modern period. German description: Robert Fludds (1574-1637) Utriusque Cosmi Historia ist ein Schlusselwerk der mystischen Naturphilosophie der Fruhen Neuzeit. Es ist eine Enzyklopadie aller Theorien, die in der Aufklarung als aberglaubisch und irrational aus dem Kanon der Wissenschaftlichkeit ausgegrenzt wurden. Der Mediziner, Astrologe, Kabbalist, Mathematiker und Naturphilosoph Fludd entwirft darin eine Kosmologie, die den Einfluss der Sterne auf das Weltgeschehen darlegt, die alle menschlichen Kunste und Techniken seiner Zeit detailliert abbildet, beschreibt und in der Analogie zu ihren himmlischen Archetypen erlautert. Die Illustrationen machen dieses Buch zur schonsten Enzyklopadie der Fruhen Neuzeit. Band 1: De Macrocosmi structurae, ejusque creaturarum originis historia in libros VII divisa. Oppenheim 1617. Hier wird die Ur-Geschichte der Schopfung vorgestellt und in Bildern erlautert: zunachst die Erschaffung des Himmels und der Erde, danach die Entstehung der Pflanzen, der Tiere und schliesslich des Menschen. Band 2,1-2: De naturae simia seu Technica macrocosmi historia. Oppenheim 1624. Dieser Band ist eine umfassende - auch bildliche - Darstellung der menschlichen Kunste: Mathematik, Musik, Optik, Malerei, Militartechnik, Automatenkunde, Meteorologie und Astrologie. Band 3: De supernaturali praeternaturali et contranaturali microcosmi historia. Oppenheim 1619. Der dritte Band stellt Fludds Metaphysik und Physik vor. Die Metaphysik ist ein Entwurf einer spekulativen Zahlenlehre auf der Grundlage der Ideen des Nikolaus von Kues; die Physik illustriert in Wort und Bild das Verhaltnis von Mikrokosmos und Makrokosmos und ist so, gemeinsam mit dem Anatomiae Amphitheatrum in Bd. 4, eine Gesamtdarstellung der Medizin und Anthropologie der Renaissance. Band 4,1-2: De Theosophico, Cabalistico et Physiologico utriusque mundi discursu. Frankfurt 1621. Anatomiae Amphitheatrum. Frankfurt 1623. Im vierten Band stellt Fludd die kabbalistischen und pythagoreischen Grundlagen seiner enzyklopadischen Theorie vor. Dieser Band ist die erste grosse Gesamtdarstellung der christlichen Kabbala in der Fruhen Neuzeit.
