To: alt.magick From: descarte@istellar.demon.co.uk (Alligator Descartes) Subject: INFO: Original Dee mss. - How to get (9408.deewrit.ad) Date: 49940801 All three MSs come on microfilm ( a roll of ) at approximately x10 reduction. If you want to print the folios to paper it goes nicely onto A3. The BL quote is for microfilm since it costs approximately 1 pound sterling per page to put it to paper. Some places will do it much cheaper... The folios I have are in exceptionally good quality and with a magnifying glass, you can read them quite easily. It's a pain in the eyes though! Here's a list of the MSs. ( NOTE: If the Sloane numbers don't match, then go with the ones you have since I'm quoting this from memory...! ) Libri Mysteriorum I-V; Sloane 3188; 175 exposures Liber Logeath; Sloane 3189; 140 exposures Libri Mysteriorum Sextus et Sanctus ( 4 books of Angelic Magic in Dee's hand ); Sloane 3191; 98 exposures All this stuff cost me approximately 60 pounds sterling to buy on film including registered 1st class mail & P & P. Might cost you somewhat more though..... The address to write to is: The British Library British Library Reproductions Great Russell Street London WC1B 3DG Tel: 071-323 7614 Fax: 071-323 7771 A reply may be quicker via FAX or phone. The whole process of writing to inquire and the actual delivery of the film should take about 2 months.... The MSs themselves make superb reading ( once you get the hang of Dee's hand ! ) and there's a LOT of stuff in there that contemporary sources ( mostly Scheuler and other G.'.D.'. ) have either corrupted, missed out or just got wrong. -- Alligator Descartes | "Lobey's the Wee Boy!" descarte@istellar.demon.co.uk | - Bud Neill XDBA - An X-based database management tool for ORACLE. Don't ask me about it!
