John Dee's Conversations with Angels: Cabala, Alchemy, and the End of Nature.
Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. Octavo. xiv + 252pp. Original maroon cloth with gilt titling. Biblioraphy and index. The first edition (NOT the print-on-demand reprint) of this important study of John Dee's Angelic conversations, analysed in the light of their intellectual / philosophical / historical contexts. Serious academic study. A tiny nick to the bottom edge of the rear board (probably a production flaw), top edge of text block a little dusty and there is a small scrape to the fore-edge. A few light creases to the top corners of half-a-dozen leaves. These are all very light flaw and the volume present overall as a near-Fine copy in near-Fine dust jacket. (Dust jacket has just a hint of discoloration. Now protected by a removable mylar sleeve.). Item #74999
