The black plate in Utriusque Cosmi Maioris is a black plate representing primordial darkness of the universe at the moment before creation. It is an almost entirely black plate[1] in Robert Fludd’s 1617 Utriusque Cosmi Maioris scilicet et Minoris Metaphysica, Physica, atque Technica Historia. The words 'Et sic in infinitum' (“and like this to infinity”) are written on all four sides of the square.
