Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Vaughan: Eugenius Philalethes Both F ludd and Vaughan were influenced by the move ment known as Rosicrucian, which came into prominence in the early part of the seventeenth century. But Vaughan was an unattached interpreter, while there is ground for believing that Fludd may have been connected more or less directly with the so - called Fratres R. C. At any rate. He was a personal friend of Michael Maier, who cannot be dissociated from the movement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
