Discovered in a hidden compartment of an old chest long after his death, the secret writings of John Dee, one of the leading scientists and occultists of Elizabethan England, record in minute detail his research into the occult. Dee's five books, revealed between March 1582 and May 1583, bring to light mysteries and truths that scholars and adepts have been struggling to understand ever since. This new edition of his work is by far the most accessible and complete published to date.
