Description

A revamped and reader-friendly edition of “A True & Faithful Relation of what passed for many Years between Dr. John Dee… and some Spirits,” transcribed and published by Meric Casaubon in 1659. This new edition has been reset into a legible modern typeface, and contains John Dee’s Spiritual Diaries for 25 years (1583-1608), now made available for the first time in an organized and readable form and incorporating corrections from the original notes of Meric Casaubon, Elias Ashmole and William Shippen, with reference to the original manuscript written by Dee. Sections which were originally missing from Casaubon’s edition have been added and many of Casaubon’s errors corrected. Stephen Skinner has also included a detailed introduction, appendices, extensive footnotes, supplementary texts, additional illustrations, and a Dee timeline.
