The Garden of Cyrus: Sir Thomas Browne - Paul Ferguson - 10-07-2023

"Just how Sir Thomas Browne’s discourse The Garden of Cyrus (1658) has not been recognised as exemplary of literary writings influenced by hermetic philosophy remains a mystery. The  first page of Browne's discourse alludes to no less than six major themes, symbols and preoccupations which are associated with western esoteric traditions including hermeticism."
