Fludd's

Although the publication of Vesalius's anatomical dissections in 1543 would disprove many of these theories, including the role of the vermis, we find an elaboration of Avicenna's arrangement — with vermis intact at the fore — in the early 17th century illustrations of Robert Fludd's treatises (fig. 4.10).

It's completely fanciful of course but this was an era when there was no knowledge of the laws of thermodynamics and speculative entrepreneurs even attempted to obtain patents on aspects of Fludd's design up to the 19th century.

Failure to understand the plan which Fludd's memory treatise follows results in lack of understanding of the theater illustrations, and I would beg any student who intends to work at the Fludd stage in the setting of the memory system to read my article, not necessarily in order to agree with its conclusions, but as a guide to the way material is arranged in a memory treatise in the classical tradition.

There are still many problems awaiting solution in connection with the publication of Fludd's works in Germany, their illustration, their relation to the general output and aims of the De Bry firm of printers, and to the situation in Germany at that time.

If Miss Yates, in drawing attention to the curious engraving in Fludd's Ars Memoriae, has provided historians and critics with a picture of the tiltyard at Whitehall (or possibly that at Greenwich), she is indeed to be thanked; but let us not imagine that it is copied from or illustrates the interior of the Globe.

The Swan is ruled out because its stage wall as shown in the De Witt sketch is unlike the one in Fludd's theater Obviously the public theater whose name best fits the title of Fludd's theater is the Globe.

Miss Yates, to be sure, does not wholly ignore the fact that Fludd's engraving in his Ars Memoriae shows a rectangular "stage," but in seeking to brush this difficulty aside she chooses to overlook the fact that the rectangular "stage" of the picture (always supposing that it is a stage) would accord much better with the square building of the Fortune and Red Bull public playhouses and better still with the rectangular Blackfriars.
