Reviews

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)
