Nel 1547 D. decise di recarsi in Olanda per motivi di studio: ritornato dopo un anno ottenne il laurea in arti liberali, ma dopo poco dovette riparare all'estero sotto l'accusa di congiura. stregoneria , ed in particolare di aver attentato alla vita della regina per mezzo di sortilegi maligni e calcoli matematici (pare che la futura regina Elisabetta gli avesse chiesto di calcolare la data della morte della sorellastra!) e fu quindi imprigionato a Hampton Court. Dopo la sua liberazione, le sue fortune iniziarono a migliorare con l'ascesa sul trono d'Inghilterra proprio di Elisabetta I (1558-1603), in particolare quando il favorito della regina, Lord Robert Dudley (1532-1588), chiese a D. di scegliere una data propizia per l'incoronazione della sovrana, che in questa occasione prese alcune lezioni di astrologia dal mago, rimanendone molto impressionata. occultismo Monas hieroglyphica Perfect Arte of Navigation I due, con le proprie famiglie, viaggiarono tra il 1583 ed il 1589 in Polonia, dove furono ospitati e sponsorizzati dal conte palatino di Siradz, Albert Laski, nipote del famoso riformatore

Schrigner Until modern times it was an established cultural practice for men and women to seek the guidance of God daily in their lives. People also had a sincere desire generally to go out and do what they perceived to be God's good will. This did not mean that everyone saw God's will. Nor, or course, did everyone make decisions affecting others out of a pure spiritual fervor and love of God. Indeed, the most pervasive pain and suffering among people century after century has been from religious persecution. In the Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages persecution accelerated with radical intensity in the Albigensian Crusades of the 12th and 13th Centuries in particular, where Cathars particularly, and indeed some Jews and others, as well, were slaughtered or burned to death for heresy until their influence was driven underground. Whatever the Cathars had come to believe as a group, those doctrines that were based upon principles that applied to everyone equally elicited the respect of nobles and commmoners alike, and the roots of their influence for over a hundred years were deep.

Libro del modo di dividere le superficie attribuito a Machometo Bagdedino.... Pesaro Girolamo Concordia 1570 4to., [iv], 44 ff., Woodcut device on title and 2 large initials, text diagrams. Panelled calf; covers rubbed, rebacked with corners repaired. Minor worming to A3, not affecting text. First edition of this important mathematical treatise printed simultaneously in Latin and Italian at Pesaro, without priority. Dee had obtained a Latin translation of an incomplete Arabic manuscript on the division of polygons, ascribed to Arabic geometer Machometus Bagdedinus (Abu-Bekr Muhammed ben Abdelbaqi el-Bagdadi, d. 1141). He was initially inclined to trace the origin of the manuscript to Euclid, although comparisons between the two have revealed that they were quite different. Dee's (1527-1608) friendship with Commandinus (1509-75), the widely respected court mathematician, resulted in their collaboration of the present work. For a complete discussion of this work, we refer to Paul Rose, "Commandino, John Dee, and the De superficierum divisionibus of Machometus Bagdedinus" in Isis, Volume 63, No. 216, March, 1972, pp. 88-93.

He is virtually unknown in modern times, although he has had a profound influence on popular culture- without him, there would be no Harry Potter, no Gandalf, no wizard bearing a crystal ball. A brilliant magician, mathematician, scientist, and secret agent, Dee was the original Renaissance man. Something of a prodigy, Dee entered St. John's College at Cambridge at age 15. He achieved notoriety early on with a charge of sorcery, which stemmed from a mechanical flying beetle demonstrated in a stage play. After spending many years studying mathematics and cartography, he took an interest in natural magic, a pastime then accepted by the church. From his studies he developed a doctrine that one could obtain knowledge of God from the applied practice of magick- an idea that was to get him into trouble on a number of occasions.

"Enochian" Materials Welcome to the John Dee Publication Project's web-site. The major purpose of this site is to distribute primary-source materials relevant to the "Enochian" work of John Dee and Edward Kelly, particularly reconstructions of Dee's Spirit Diaries, from the original manuscripts. Most of the materials here are presented in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, as it is the best means I have discovered to present this work in a uniform manner which is accessible to users of most computer platforms. The Adobe Acrobat Reader also allows one to view the graphics in much higher resolution than would be possible with GIF or JPEG images, and to print them out on laser printers with quality approaching PostScript files. The latest version of the Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free from Adobe's web-site 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.

Ideas in Society, 1500-1700 John Dee (1527-1609) Index "A marveilous newtrality have these things mathematicall, and also a strange participation between things supernaturall, immortall, intellectuall, simple and indivisible, and things naturall, mortall, sensible, componded and divisible." John Dee's preface to Euclid's Elements John Dee is an excellent example of how early modern intellectuals could mix conventional interests with occult, even necromantic, pursuits. The desire to acquire more knowledge than was available from academic studies could lead natural philosophers into some very strange activities. Yet, however, suspect such practices might seem to the orthodox clergy, whether Catholic or Protestant, practitioners of the occult sciences attracted patronage from monarchs and aristocrats. Dee was, for many years, a prominent figure at the court of Queen Elizabeth and also, more briefly, at the court in Prague of the Emperor Rudolf II. John Dee's father was a London merchant. Dee attended Chantry School at Chelmsford in Essex, 1537-42, and then studied at St. John's College, Cambridge, 1542-6. He took his B.A. in 1545 and then taught Greek. He became a Fellow of Trinity College upon its foundation in 1546 and took his M.A. in 1548. He then studied at Louvain University, 1548-51, with the great mathematical mapmakers, Gemma Frisius and Gerard Mercator. From this early stage in his career, Dee was acting as tutor to the great, and he appears to have taught mathematics to several leading English Protestant aristocrats. Dee was offered a professorship at the University of Paris in 1551, and in 1554 a position as lecturer on mathematics at Oxford. He declined both positions.

John DEE Born: 13 Jul 1527, London, Middlesex, England Died: Dec 1608, Mortlake, Surrey, England This remarkable mathematician and astrologer is supposed to have been descended from a noble old Welsh House. He affirmed that among his direct ancestors was Roderick the Great, Prince of Wales . His father was a vintner and a man of high repute in the court of Henry VIII , with some affluence, allowing him to give his son a decent education. John Dee went to St. John's College in Cambridge at the age of 15 in 1542, where he studied math and astronomy, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree two years later. After receiving his first degree, he traveled to Holland meeting with many scholars. When he returned to England, he brought with him the first astronomer¹s staff of brass along with two brass gloves constructed by Gerard Mercetor , a famous cartographer of that time. After his return he received a Master of the Arts degree but was soon forced to leave England after being accused of being a conjurer thanks to a machine he built. During his first sojourn away from England, he first went to Louvain, France then spent some time in Paris, giving lectures on Euclid's Elements and the basics of Geometry at the Sorbonne. Dee was offered a permanent post there, but he declined the post to return to England where he had been recommended for the post of Rector of Severn-upon-Severn by

No. 474: JOHN DEE by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 474. Today, a mathematical magician helps end magic. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. J ohn Dee was born in England in 1527. When he died in 1607, he left us all wondering: was he a mathematician or a sorcerer? Dee graduated from Cambridge at 18. He went on to study and lecture in Europe, and his reputation soared. He studied navigation with the same Mercator who gave us the map projection. An explorer later offered to give Dee Canada in exchange for his knowledge of maps. Dee was expert in astronomy, astrology, math, alchemy, and much more. The Protestant rulers Edward and Elizabeth consulted him. But so did Catholic Queen Mary. The lines between astronomy, astrology, alchemy, and magic were very fuzzy in Dee's time. Maybe we saw our ignorance of nature's forces more clearly then than we do now. Dee raised essential questions about knowledge. Still, he looked for answers in a magic crystal as well as in a chemical retort. In 1570 he wrote a 50-page preface for the first English translation of Euclid's geometry. It showed how geometry fit into the whole of science. He began with a huge chart a road map of human knowledge. He resolved science into two parts. "Arithmetike" and "geometrie" were primary. The rest, he said, was derivative. Things like "perspectiue, astronomie, cosmographie, astrologie, and musike" all flowed from mathematics.
