摘要

The significance of John Dee (1527-1609) for historians of science rests both on the range of his interests and activities, and the problems this range has caused for his biographers. A mathematician learned in British history, cartography, astrology and navigation, throughout his life Dee also became increasingly engaged with alchemy, kabbalah, divination, and communion with spirits. All of these interests, and more, were represented in his library, one of the largest and most comprehensive in Europe, particularly for scientific content. The range of his pursuits was famously tax-onomised in his account of 'the Sciences, and Artes Mathematicall' in the Mathematicall praeface to Henry Billingsley's English translation of Euclid's Elements (1570). Here, Dee's 'Groundplat' of the sciences laid out the applications of geometry and arithmetic not only in the fields of mathematics and natural philosophy, but also in 'thinges Supernaturall, aeternall, & Diuine.'
