Fun Fact
Klein’s set is an indispensable scholarly tool, offering unmatched fidelity to Dee’s original manuscripts. It excels in preserving the chaotic, annotated nature of the source material, making it vital for serious researchers. However, it may disappoint casual readers seeking a simplified, narrative-driven biography. In the field of esoteric studies, it sits as the definitive textual authority, correcting decades of transcription errors and providing a pristine foundation for future Dee scholarship.

The Most Faithful and Accurate Edition of John Dee's Conversations with Angels An Incomparable Treasure Ten Years in the Making Now available in a three-volume paperback set, this is a must-have treasure for Dee aficionados and esoteric scholars who absolutely need the most meticulously detailed version of these highly influential works.

John Dee's original writings have never been presented in such an immaculate fashion, free of the typos, oversights, and omissions that have previously plagued serious Dee scholarship. This complete, 1,760-page work also includes folio numbers, errata, notes, and ten comprehensive appendices to provide essential context and enhance the practical understanding of the manuscripts: Dee's European Journey (with map) - The Ninety-One Parts of the Earth (with maps and table) - Gazetteer - Glossary of Archaic and Obscure Words - Brief Biographical Guide - An Examination of John Dee's 48 Claves Angelicæ - Concordance of Angelic Words in Dee's 48 Claves Angelicæ - List of Spiritual Creatures - A Selection of Interesting Quotations - Complete Angelic Lexicon Three paperback volumes packaged in a premium linen-covered, foil-stamped slipcase.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Klein’s decade-long labor results in a scholarly powerhouse that prioritizes textual fidelity above all else. While this accuracy is its greatest strength, it also serves as a barrier for casual readers or those seeking practical ritual instructions. The dense, academic nature of transcribing every diagram and lacuna may feel impenetrable to anyone not deeply entrenched in historical occult studies. This edition does not cater to beginners or those looking for a streamlined guide to Enochian magic; rather, it is a rigorous archival resource. If you require accessible interpretation or modernized applications, this text will likely frustrate you with its uncompromising adherence to the original manuscript’s structure and obscurity.

A serious text

A friend in my study group recommended this one. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.

Good addition to the shelf

Took a chance on this and glad I did. It's become a regular reference in my practice. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. The font runs small in the appendices. Still worth having on the shelf.
