Edmonds, WA: Sure Fire Press [ Holmes Publishing Group ], 1986. First Edition Thus. Softcover. Octavo. 48pp. Stapled booklet. Printed white card wrappers. Illustrated. "This book, written in thirteen days in 1564 .... explains his discovery of the unity underlying the universe as expressed in a heiroglyph or symbol." One of Dee's most important studies of "magical mathematics." It was originally published in the years of its writing (1564) in Latin, as the "Monas Hieroglyphica," although the title of the second (German) edition - when translated - probably gives more of a sense of its contents "The Monad, Hieroglyphically, Mathematically, Magically, Cabbalistically and Anagogically Explained." The text of this booklet is obviously reproduced from an earlier edition. A tight, clean near Fine copy. Item #70124
