    About this ebook

    This is the private diary of Dr. John Dee and is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains the writings of the sixteenth century occultist on his day-to-day activities. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in John Dee’s life. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

      John Dee was born in 1527 and died roughly 1608 or 1609. He is variously described as a scientist,an alchemist and a philosopher. He was also damned as a conjuror and dabbler in the black arts.This particular book is divided into two separate sections,the first comprises his diary,the entries of which cover 1554 - 1601. Although not an easy read,it is nevertheless worthwhile making the effort. The entry for August 1589 reads - the night following,my terrible dream that Mr.Kelly wold by force bereave me of my bokes- (sic) certainly rings a bell with me. He also writes of a certain 'wambling' in his stomach in another entry.The second section lists The volumes which comprise the library of Dr.Dee.
