Full title: A True & Faithful Relation of What passed for many Yeers between Dr. John Dee (A Mathematician of Great Fame in Q. Eliz. and King James their Reignes) and some spirits by Meric Casaubon, D.D.⁣

Published by Magickal Childe Pub. Inc. 1992. A facsimile reprint of the 1659 First Edition of this classic John Dee text, with a new introduction by Lon Milo DuQuette, and appendicies by Clay Holden.

Pencil markings to a few text pages; binding with bumping to extremities; reading crease along spine with cracked edges; large soiling (tea spill?) to fore edge of text block - in all a good reading copy.

From Wikipedia:
As the first public revelation of Dee's spiritual conferences, the book was popular. Casaubon, who believed in the reality of spirits, argued in his introduction that Dee was acting as the unwitting tool of evil spirits while believing he was communicating with angels. This book is mainly responsible for the image, prevalent for the next two-and-a-half centuries, of Dee as a dupe and deluded fanatic.
