The most remarkable English magician of that time was JOHN DEE
(1527 – 1608). Distinguished mathematician, born in London in 1527.
Based on Trithemius manuscripts and his Stenographia, John Dee developed
in his works a method more efficient than the one of Trithemius. From his
works came what was known with the name of Enochian: this is either the
first synthetic language or the first not human language that we know.
It is a complete language with its alphabet and its grammatical. The Enochian
language constitutes the based of the secret doctrine of the famous society
GOLDEN DAWN at the end of 19th century.
Dee was passionately interested on the divination through mirrors, and
as he was not mental enough, he hired professional clear sighted. His main
assistant since 1582 was Edward Kelley, being this one of his main errors. |
