A substantially revised edition of this highly important work that was originally published in the Magum Opus Hermetic Sourceworks series. Adam McLean observed "'The Mysteriorum Libri Quinti' manuscript has been much quoted from during the last few years, however esotericists and scholars have till now not had available the complete text in print. Joseph Peterson has diligently prepared this edition transcribing the difficult handwritten text, and provides an introduction, summarised contents of the Five Books, an Index Verborum to the Angelic words in the text, and an extremely useful Index to the text itself." This new edition has numerous added explanatory footnotes, translations of Latin passages, an expanded Introduction and Index, and supplemental material from Dee's diary and other manuscripts. A significant contribution to Dee studies. Bump and resulting crease to lower spine -otherwise appears unused, thus a tight, bright near Fine copy. Additional shipping may apply. Item #60663
