The Most Faithful and Accurate Edition of John Dee's Conversations with Angels

An Incomparable Treasure Ten Years in the Making

Now available in a three-volume paperback set, this is a must-have treasure for Dee aficionados and esoteric scholars who absolutely need the most meticulously detailed version of these highly influential works. A labor of love ten years in the making, these volumes include transcripts of four manuscripts from the British Library and one from the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Two of these manuscripts are only available in this set. Each page is laid out to match the original manuscripts, including lines, marks, notations, lacunae, and diagrams.

In these volumes, the breadth of content, the level of detail, and the fidelity to the originals is unmatched. John Dee's original writings have never been presented in such an immaculate fashion, free of the typos, oversights, and omissions that have previously plagued serious Dee scholarship.

This complete, 1,760-page work also includes folio numbers, errata, notes, and ten comprehensive appendices to provide essential context and enhance the practical understanding of the manuscripts:

Dee's European Journey (with map) - The Ninety-One Parts of the Earth (with maps and table) - Gazetteer - Glossary of Archaic and Obscure Words - Brief Biographical Guide - An Examination of John Dee's 48 Claves Angelic - Concordance of Angelic Words in Dee's 48 Claves Angelic - List of Spiritual Creatures - A Selection of Interesting Quotations - Complete Angelic Lexicon

Three paperback volumes packaged in a premium linen-covered, foil-stamped slipcase. This is the deluxe paperback edition of the sold-out limited-edition hardcover set (9780738752587).
