John Dee was a much respected mathematician, astronomer,
astrologer, occultist, alchemist and adviser to Queen Elizabeth I,
but subsequently derided as a conjurer and a trickster. Dee became
Queen Elizabeth's trusted advisor on astrological and scientific
matters, choosing her coronation date himself. From the 1550s
through the 1570s, he served as an advisor to England's voyages of
discovery, providing technical assistance in navigation and
ideological backing in the creation of a "British Empire" Dee's
library, at 4000 volumes, was the largest philosophical and
scientific library collection in Elizabethan England. Queen
Elizabeth finally made him Warden of Christ's College, Manchester,
in 1595
