First published in 1658, in modern times it has been recognised as Browne's major literary contribution to Hermetic wisdom. The pretext for the book is the archaeological discovery of Anglo-Saxon pottery in Norfolk, with Browne describing the antiquities. The book draws its primary influences from the Book of Genesis and Plato's Timaeus, initially covering Browne's speculation about the location of the mythical Garden of Eden.
