Utriusque Cosmi, Maioris scilicet et Minoris, metaphysica, physica, atque technica Historia (The metaphysical, physical, and technical history of the two worlds, namely the greater and the lesser) is a book by Robert Fludd, published in Germany between 1617 and 1621).
Theatrum Orbi
The often shown engraving of that book, the Theatrum Orbi[2], is by Jean Théodore de Bry. It depicts a scaenae frons, five doors and a bay window. On the bay window are inscribed the words "THEATRUM ORBI."
According to Frances Yates, Fludd's memory system, which she describes in detail in The Art of Memory, may reflect the layout of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
Excerpt of the text that accompanies the engraving:
- Theatrum appello illud, in quo omnes vocabulorum, sententiarum, particularum orationis seu subjectorum actiones tanquam in theatro publico, ubi comoediae & tragoediae aguntur, demonstrantur.[3]
- "I call a theatre [a place in which] all actions of words, of sentences, of particulars of a speech or of subjects are shown, as in a public theatre in which comedies and tragedies are acted."[4]
List of engravings
- The black page
- Ladder to the sun [5]
