"Le livre se concentre en premier lieu sur John Dee et Robert Fludd en tant que représentants de la philosophie de la Renaissance en Angleterre, il s’attache en particulier à déceler dans leurs œuvres l’influence du renouveau vitruvien qui a marqué la Renaissance. On ignore en général que Vitruve, tel que l’a redécouvert la Renaissance , a exercé une forte influence en Angleterre avant Inigo Jones. Je m’emploie ici à rendre justice à John Dee, mage et mathématicien, en montrant qu’on lui doit la propagation d’influences vitruviennes dans l’Angleterre des Tudor. La préface que Dee a donné de la traduction anglaise d’Euclide en 1570 contient de longues citations de Vitruve et d’Alberti qui célèbrent la suprématie de l’architecture entre toutes les sciences mathématiques."

PREFACE
IN my book, The Art of Memory, I devoted one chapter to
arguing that the stage illustration in Robert Fludd's art
of memory can throw light on Shakespeare's Globe
Theatre. That book as a whole was concerned purely with
the history of the art of memory. The chapter on Fludd and the
Globe had to be included in it because it was only through the
history of the art of memory that the evidence in Fludd's memory
system about a real 'public theatre' could be understood and
interpreted. Much more work needed to be done, and other
approaches made to this exciting subject in order to
supplement and substantiate the approach through the art
of memory.
As I there said, 'There is much more actual research to be done,
particularly on the German end of the publication of Fludd's
work . .. and on Vitruvian influences in both Dee and Fludd
In this book I carry on further research along these lines
The book is primarily centred on John Dee and Robert
Fludd as representatives of Renaissance philosophy in England,
with particular reference to the evidence in their works of the
influence of the Renaissance revival of Vitruvius. It is not
generally known that there was a strong influence of the
Renaissance Vitruvius in England before Inigo Jones. In this book I
put forward a claim for John Dee, magus and mathematician,
as a propagator of Vitruvian influences in Tudor England
John Dee's Preface to the English translation of Euclid,
published in 1570, contains long quotations from Vitruvius and
Alberti in praise of the supremacy of architecture among the
mathematical sciences. Dee's Preface connects with the scientific
movement of late Tudor England which is thus shown to owe...
