About the Book

The career of the sixteenth-century English mathematician and natural philosopher John Dee (1527-1609) has played a significant role in recent historiographical debates about the relationship between magic and science in the early modern period. This collection of interdisciplinary essays, which addresses a wide range of Dee's diverse intellectual activities (including mathematics, astronomy, navigation, astrology, alchemy, cabala and "angel magic") seeks to enlarge the scope of this debate, as well as presenting new archival and bibliographical discoveries relating to Dee and his collaborators and colleagues. The essays in the volume present new views on the nature of Dee's various projects, as well as the uses to which he put the books and manuscripts in his library at Mortlake (one of the largest private collections in Elizabethan England).

Review :
From the reviews: "John Dee has proved an endlessly fascinating subject for students of early modern thought almost from the moment of his death. This collection ... is a welcome contribution to a burgeoning field. ... the collection is marvellously meticulous, engaging and learned. No student of the Dee, sixteenth-century mathematics or early modern magic can afford to ignore it." (Adam Mosley, British Journal for the History of Science, Vol. 41 (1), 2008)
