John Dee by Gerald Suster
Although revered in his own time, John Dee (1527-1608) was until recently regarded as an isolated crank on the margins of Tudor history. This anthology of Dee's writings illustrates his diverse interests and his central position in the history of Renaissance thought and the development of Western Magic. Dee's celebrated Preface to Euclid is included along with selections from his Spiritual Diaries and letters to other mystics and royals. In addition to Hermetic and Cabalistic philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, astrology, and navigation are also covered.Gerald Suster was born in 1951 and attended Highgate School and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He worked as a professional novelist from 1979 onwards, with a special interest in magic. A series of occult novels and biographies of Aleister Crowley and Israel Regardie are among his works. In the year 2000, he passed away.
