The Private Diary of Dr. John Dee, and the Catalog of His Library of Manuscripts

A compilation of a private scholar's marginal diary and a catalogue of his manuscripts, the volume reproduces short dated entries recording astrological observations, births and personal loans, notes on dreams, reports of supernatural encounters, and everyday household and financial details alongside a list of owned manuscripts with brief descriptions. An editor's preface and footnotes contextualize the material and correct typographical issues, while a transliteration key renders occasional Greek-script passages. The combination provides an intimate, fragmentary portrait of intellectual practice, routine record-keeping, collecting habits, and recurring engagement with experimental and occult interests.
