Overview
Hydriotaphia is a book written by Thomas Browne, a 17th-century English writer and physician. The book is a treatise on the burial customs of ancient civilizations, particularly the Greeks and Romans. Browne examines the practice of cremation and the use of urns, or hydriotaphia, as a means of preserving the ashes of the dead. He also explores the symbolism and meaning behind various burial rituals and monuments, such as the use of obelisks and pyramids. The book is written in a poetic and philosophical style, with Browne reflecting on the transience of life and the inevitability of death. It is considered a classic of English literature and has been praised for its elegant prose and insightful observations on human mortality.1658. Urn burial, or a discourse of the Sepulchral urns lately found in Norfolk. Together with The Garden of Cyrus, or the Quincuncial, Lozenge, or Network Plantations of the ancients, artificially, naturally, mystically considered.
