FORMAN, SIMON (1552-1611)

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 668 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FORMAN, SIMON (1552-1611) , English physician and astrologer, was born in 1552 at Quidham, a small
village
  near Wilton, Wiltshire. At the age of fourteen he became apprentice to a druggist at
Salisbury
 , but at the end of four years he exchanged this profession for that of a schoolmaster. Shortly afterwards he entered Magdalen College,
Oxford
 , where he studied chiefly
medicine
  and
astrology
 . After continuing the same studies- in Holland he commenced practice as a physician in Philpot Lane, London, but as he possessed no diploma, he on this account underwent more than one
term
  of imprisonment. Ultimately, however, he obtained a diploma from
Cambridge
  university, and established himself as a physician and astrologer at Lambeth, where he was consulted, especially as a physician, by many persons of rank, among others by the notorious countess of Essex. He expired suddenly while crossing the Thames in a boat on the 12th of September 1611.
A
list
  of Forman's works on
astrology
  is given in Bliss's edition of the Athenae Oxonienses; many of his MS. works are contained in the Bodleian Library, the British Museum and the Plymouth Library. A Brief Description of the Forman MSS. in the Public Library,. Plymouth, was published in 1853.
