Description
Dive into the life and work of John Dee, the Renaissance mathematician and "the Queen Elizabeth's magician"! György E. Szőnyi presents an analysis of Renaissance occultism and its place in European cultural history. He deals with the scientific and spiritual writings of John Dee as reflective sources of traditional mysticism. Szőnyi examines the intellectual foundations of magic and focuses on the ideology of exaltatio, the celebration or deification of man. He argues that it was the desire for exaltatio that shaped and connected otherwise diverse thoughts and activities of John Dee.
