• Sommario/riassunto: Simon Forman was one of London's most infamous astrologers. He was consulted thousands of times a year for medical & other questions but he stood apart from the medical elite as he boldly asserted medical ideas that were at odds with most learned physicians. This title recovers the world of medicine & magic in Elizabethan London.
