As a primary historical document, the earliest published record of this material, it sits at this atlas's top tier for documenting what Dee's own diaries recorded, not for confirming that the angelic communications were what Dee believed them to be. It is the strongest available source for the actual content and sequence of the Enochian Calls. This system is unrelated to the separate Greek Magical Papyri tradition, and a claim about that different body of material needs its own separate source.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (802 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1The first printed edition of John Dee's own angelic diaries, a primary text edited by a seventeenth century classical scholar, cited as the documented historical record of the sessions themselves.NotesWell-attestedThe first printed edition of Dee's angelic diaries, edited by Meric Casaubon (son of the classical scholar Isaac Casaubon, a different person, separately catalogued in this atlas). Prints the forty eight Enochian Calls (Claves Angelicae) received through Edward Kelley in 1584. Dee's own angelic informant, Illemese, describes the first nineteen calls as entrances into the knowledge of the mystical tables, the four Elemental Watchtowers. This entry does not draw on the Greek Magical Papyri for Enochian material, a separate and unrelated tradition.CitationAuthorWell-attestedJohn Dee, edited by Meric CasaubonPublisherWell-attestedT.
