Fludd Robert <ref name="term_40253" />
<p> (Latin, DE FLUCTIBUS), an English physician and theosophist, was born at Millgate, in Kent, in 1574. He was educated at Oxford, and afterwards traveled on the Continent, where he became a Rosicrucian (q.v.). [[Returning]] to England, he became M.D., and practiced in London, devoting himself also to the study of the natural sciences, in which he showed rare aptitudes. He was also a zealous student of the occult sciences. He died at London September 8, 1637. He was a man of real genius. Kepler and Gassendi thought it worth while to write against him. Fludd's works were published in Latin at Oppenheim, 1617-38, 6 volumes, folio. His Mosaical Philosophy, grounded upon the: essential Truth or eternal Sapience (Lond. 1659, fol.), is translated from the Latin text. See Rich, Biog. Dictionary; Brucker, Hist. Crit. Philosophic; Wood, Athenae Oxonienses. (See [[Theosophy]]). </p>
