Simon Forman (1552-1611) was an Elizabethan physician, astrologer, magician, and alchemist who lived and worked in both London and Wiltshire, England. He was unusual in that despite receiving no formal training in medicine or astrology, and being repeatedly fined and arrested for practising, he grew to be a proficient and popular doctor, treating poor and rich alike.
