The Queen's Conjurer: The Science and Magic of Dr. Dee

Trama

A spellbinding portrait of Queen Elizabeth’s conjuror – the great philosopher, scientist and magician, Dr John Dee (1527–1608) and a history of Renaissance science that could well be the next ‘Longitude’. Yet he died in poverty and obscurity – his crime was to dabble in magic.
