About the author

Born in 1625, Richard Gilpin was an English nonconformist minister and physician. He is remembered as a prominent figure in northern England, where he built a reputation both for his religious work and for his medical practice.

Gilpin lived through the unsettled decades of the English Civil War and the religious conflicts that followed. Rather than remaining in a single public role, he moved between ministry and medicine, a combination that makes him stand out among figures of his period.

He died in 1700. Although he is not as widely known today as some of his contemporaries, his career offers a vivid glimpse of a learned, adaptable man working across faith and science in 17th-century England.
