1946. Translated into English for the first time, this book was
written by the Elizabethan magus, Dr. John Dee in 1564. He explains
his discovery of the monas, or unity underlying the universe, as
seen in a hieroglyph or symbol. The monad is representative of the
alchemic process and goal of the magus, who in partaking of the
divine, achieves that gnostic regenerative experience of becoming
God and thus furthering the redemption and transmutation of the
worlds.
1659. A fascinating account of Dr. Dee's experience of speaking
with spirits to unearth the laws of nature and creation. Scarce!

Dr. John Dee was the Warden of Manchester. He was a restless and
ambitious spirit. Dr. Dee was known for ripe scholarship, for deep
knowledge in chemistry and for rare skill in mathematics and
astronomy. At the time he became Warden, Dr. Dee had devoted
himself to the blighting influence of occult investigations,
intermingling with them in credulous simplicity what remained in
him of Christian faith. This rare manuscript contains Dr. Dee's
diary, written in Old English with a biographical sketch of this
most wise and brilliant man.
