Mysteriorum

Abstract

The following documents are electronic reconstructions of the first three books of John Dee's Quinti Libri Mysteriorum, the original of which is Sloane MS. 3188 in the British Library. They are all three in Acrobat PDF format. These works attempt to follow the layout of Dee's original diaries. I have expanded Latin abbreviations, and have regularized "i" "j" and "u" "v" to make the reading experience less jarring. Other than that, it follows Dee's spelling exactly. Some lacunae in the original have been filled in from Elias Ashmole's fair copy of the MS., Sloane MS. 3677. Blank pages in these works are blank in the original manuscript. Thanks to the kindness of Raymond Drewry, we are now able to offer "Mysteriorum Liber Primus" with translations of the Latin text into English, as well as a separate "Notes" document examining Dee and Kelly's sources, etc. The current offerings of "Mysteriorum Liber Secundus" and "Mysteriorum Liber Tertius" include neither translations of the Latin, nor any notes. We look forward to adding these in the near future, as well as a continuation of the remaining three books in Sloane MS. 3188. Tomado de: http://hermetic.com/jdpp/ Fecha de reseña: 16/05/2016
