Utriusque Cosmi maioris salicet et minoris metaphysica...
Published (OPPENHEMII) 1617-1619 CE
(This work is in Latin, presented here as grey-scale JPG graphics of the original pages)

Robert Fludd (1574-1637), an English physician, wrote several works on Rosicrucianism. This particular work is more encyclopedic, covering optics, the musical intervals, perspective drawing, hydraulic engineering, construction of lifting machines, military engineering and many other mundane matters. Mystical subjects include studies of number as well as integrated approaches to the other topics. There are extensive treatments of Astrology and Geomancy in this work. Only a few portions of Utriusque . . . have appeared in recent decades; and, with the exception of two pages omitted from the original microfilm of the book in the Bancroft collection of the University of California at Berkeley, this may be the only complete modern version available.
The microfilm images are UCBerkeley. The additional work here, comprising scans of the microfilm and organization of the images on this page and in the PDF versions are Bill Heidrick. This work should not be placed on other web sites or sold in any form without the explicit permission of both the University of California at Berkeley and Bill Heidrick. Thanks are due to the staff at the Bancroft Library at UCB for allowing public access on this web site.

This work is available in two forms: collected zip files of the scans of the pages and an all-in-one pdf of the same scans, with bookmarked table of content. The zip files are available immediately below. The pdf version can be accessed near the bottom of this page.

Requirements for download of the pdf collection of page images: Robust, fast broadband connection 2/3's of a gigabyte of hard disk space (about 268 megs after file save) Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or later Patience (several hours typical download time and possibly several tries) Luck (packet drops or server resets may cause failure) Utriusque Cosmi ... Adobe pdf file c. 268 megs in size Tip: It's better to use the "Save Target As" option (right click on a PC with Internet Explorer or equivalent on other browsers and Macs) than to simply click on this link. The download is often a bit faster and more likely to be successful if that is done. Directly clicking the link will typically cause an Adobe Reader plugin to activate, slowing the transfer and giving rise to more likelyhood of failure with this large file.
