EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Mark Ridley: From the Russian Court to Scholarly Pursuits in England (1560-1624)" Mark Ridley, a remarkable figure in the annals of medical history, graces this evocative image. Born around 1560, Ridley's life was marked by an intriguing blend of political intrigue, medical expertise, and scholarly pursuits. Initially, Ridley found favour at the Russian court, serving as the personal physician to Tsar Boris Godunov. Boris Godunov, who ruled from 1598 to 1605, was a pivotal figure in Russian history, known for his efforts to centralize power and stabilize the realm. Ridley's presence at the Russian court during this tumultuous period speaks to his exceptional skills and the trust bestowed upon him by the Tsar. However, Ridley's tenure in Russia was not permanent. He eventually returned to England, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience. In his homeland, he dedicated himself to scholarly pursuits, focusing on the then-emerging field of magnetism. Ridley's contributions to the study of magnetism were significant, and his works on the subject were highly regarded in his time. His scholarly endeavours demonstrate the global exchange of ideas during the early modern period and the interconnectedness of European and Russian intellectual circles. Mark Ridley's life serves as a testament to the intriguing interplay between politics, medicine, and scholarship during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a man who navigated the complexities of the Russian court and made groundbreaking discoveries in the realm of scientific inquiry. Date: 1560-1624.
