The revival of [[Hermeticism]] and [[Neoplatonism]] in the [[Renaissance]], both of which had reserved a prominent place for the microcosm–macrocosm analogy, also led to a marked rise in popularity of the latter. Some of the most notable proponents of the concept in this period include [[Marsilio Ficino]] (1433 – 1499), [[Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa]] (1486–1535), [[Franciscus Patricius|Francesco Patrizi]] (1529–1597), [[Giordano Bruno]] (1548–1600), and [[Tommaso Campanella]] (1568–1639).<ref>See the discussion in {{harvnb|Allers|1944|pp=386–401}}.</ref> It was also central to the new medical theories propounded by the Swiss physician [[Paracelsus]] (1494–1541) and his many [[Paracelsianism|followers]], most notably [[Robert Fludd]] (1574–1637).<ref>{{harvnb|Debus|1965|loc=pp. 19, 41–42, 86, 114–123, ''et passim''}}.</ref> [[Andreas Vesalius]] (1514–1564) in his anatomy text [[De humani corporis fabrica|''De fabrica'']] wrote that the human body "in many respects corresponds admirably to the universe and for that reason was called the little universe by the ancients."<ref>{{harvnb|O'Malley|1964|p=324}}.</ref>
