Dr. Forman was a doctor and astrologer in Elizabethan and Jacobean times who is mentioned in some of Ben Jonson's plays. He kept a diary and notes on his patients which have partially survived. After his death his name was dragged through the mud when a group of his high society clients were tried for poisoning Sir Thomas Overbury. The mud stuck, but Judith Cook attempts to rehabilitate his good name. This book should have been much more interesting than it was. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Charismatic and ambitious, Simon Forman rose from a poor upbringing in Wiltshire to become one of the wealthiest doctors in London. This account of his life sees him denounced as a quack and an astrologer who used black magic. It covers his private life through deciphering his intimate coded diary.
