A principal purpose of bibliography is to provide full
details of works usually referred to by short titles in the
notes. Consequently, most of such works as have been cited on
only one occasion are not included here, and a full reference has
been given on citation. Similarly, group$ of works consulted
upon specialised topics discussed in particular passages but not
thereafter recurred to are not listed here, but full details are
given in the notes to the appropriate sections of the text (as
e.g., works on Alkindi or Urso, in Ch_ 5, n. 223, 248). Again it
has not been thought necessary to attempt to include the many
works profitably examined but to which there has been no occasion
to rnake dil-ect l-eference.
Another object is to list those works containing information
01- comment upon Dee personally. All these have been indicated by
a prefatory capital delta, the sign Dee employed as a personal
monogram. ,Omissions here--apart from oversight and sheer
ignorance--fall into a number of categories:
1. TI10se in which Dee's name OCCLJrs in a strong of incidentally
names of Elizabethan figures (e.9., as G.N. Clark, Science
Ann Sncial in the Age nf Nel.lton, nxfor<l, 1937).
? . Those whie h c <3 sua 11 y mP. nt. ion [) e e j n P <3 S sing, wit h0 u t.
significant direct comment, to illlJstrRte some point for which
the name of almost any contemporary would have served equally
well (e.g., as Bentham, Vol. 8, 1843; but vide supra Ch.
2, n. 36).
3. Those in which Dee's name appears in some personally
irrelevant relation, i.e., bare mentions of him as an ancestor of
his descendants etc. (e.g., J.P. Malcolm, Londinillm Redivivum,
London, Vol. I, 1802, p. 72: a note of the burial in 1617 at St.
mary at Axe, of "John Dee, sonne of Mr. John Dee ... ").
4. Such works as contain only information taken from earlier
works, included on this list, unaccompanied by fresh comment.
(E.g., the references in Dover Wilson's Introduction, p. xlv et
seq to the New Cambridge Shakespeare's Richarrl II, Cambridge,
1939, which are covered by this bibliography's inclusion of
Holmshed's Chronicles, 1577, and Webb's introduction to A French
Metrical Romance in Arctlaeologia , 1921.)
