DR. JOHN DEE.

LIBER MYSTERIORUM: BEING BOOK I OF A TRUE AND FAITHFUL RELATION OF WHAT PASSED FOR MANY YEARS BETWEEN DR. JOHN DEE (A MATHEMATICIAN OF GREAT FAME IN Q. ELIZ. AND KING JAMES THEIR REIGNS) AND SOME SPIRITS – THE WHOLE EXPLICATED, ANNOTATED, ADAPTED TO MODERN ENGLISH, AND TRANSLATED WHERE NECESSARY FOR THE FULL USE OF THE MODERN READER.

Edmonton: J. Mead Publications. 2008.

56 pages. Quarto (11 by 8 1/2 inch) softcover, saddle-stitched in wraps.

NEW.

A modern edition of the spirit dairies compiled by Dr. John Dee along with his skryer Edward Kelly – though please note that it covers BOOK ONE ONLY of this very extensive work. It contains the body of the text plus 171 footnotes on the text. These include notes on peculiar words and concepts of the period and full translations of all of the Greek and Latin that appears in the text.

IT WAS FROM THIS WORK THAT THE ENOCHIAN OR ANGELIC LANGUAGE WAS EXTRACTED by the late-19th and early-20th century occultists – from the head of the original “HERMETIC ORDER OF THE GOLDEN DAWN” S. L. MACGREGOR-MATHERS to the infamous ALEISTER CROWLEY, who began the O.T.O. or “ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS” – and all subsequent "ENOCHIAN MAGICK" has been based on these sessions and what was revealed in them by the spirits to DEE: scientist, alchemist, occultist, spy, and Renaissance England’s answer to the great polymaths of Renaissance Italy.
