Systematic biology as it has evolved since the renaissance has been strongly influenced by various forms of occultism, including the Hermetic tradition. In the thirteenth century Ramon Lull developed combinatorics as a mechanism for generating all possible propositions. This became, along with mnemonics, one of the bases for notions of universal science and a universal language that became particularly fashionable in the 1600s. The Jesuit polymath Athanasius Kircher developed such notions and applied them to classification. Such notions were available to Linnaeus and there are indications that he made use of them. Combinatorics helps to explain his use of the artificial system and his reasoning about the multiplication of species through hybridization.
