The book titled Dr. John Dee is a biography of the famous English mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and occult philosopher, John Dee. The book is written by the Benedictine Brethren of Glendalough and provides a detailed account of Dee's life, his contributions to various fields of study, and his involvement in the occult. The book begins with a brief introduction to Dee's early life and education, tracing his journey from his birth in 1527 to his studies at Cambridge University. It then delves into Dee's professional career, highlighting his work as a mathematician and astronomer, his collaboration with fellow mathematician and astronomer, Tycho Brahe, and his contributions to the field of navigation. The book also explores Dee's fascination with the occult, his belief in angels and spirits, and his involvement in various esoteric practices. It discusses his infamous association with Edward Kelley, a self-proclaimed alchemist and medium, and their experiments with crystal gazing and spirit communication. The book concludes with an analysis of Dee's legacy, his impact on the fields of mathematics, astronomy, and occult philosophy, and his enduring influence on popular culture. Overall, Dr. John Dee is a comprehensive and insightful biography of one of the most fascinating figures in English history.THIS 48 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Romantic Biography of the Age of Elizabeth or Sketches of Life from the Bye Ways of History V1, by The Benedictine Brethren of Glendalough .
