Frederick Clod (or Clodius) (1625 – after 1661), was a physician and "mystical chemist" of German extraction.
[1] He lived in a sizeable house (taxed on eight hearths) in Axe Yard, London, next door to the Hartlibs, whose daughter Mary he married in 1660.
[3] He was a minor figure in scientific circles and a friend of Robert Boyle, to whom he supplied some very varied recipes.
He had been in the service of Frederick III of Denmark, collecting "Rarities", and himself was a native of Holstein.
Pepys, a guest at the wedding, describes it as a social event of great magnificence.
