About the Author:
Dr John Dee (1527–1608), famed mathematician, astrologer, and advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, was one of the most influential figures of the Elizabethan era. A polymath and seeker of esoteric knowledge, Dee studied a wide range of disciplines, including astronomy, geography, alchemy, divination, and the Hermetic arts. His work laid foundational stones for both scientific inquiry and Western esotericism.

 

A must-read for historians of alchemy, occult practitioners, and seekers of Hermetic wisdom.
