The book, ""Lists Of Manuscripts Formerly Owned By Dr. John Dee"" by M.R. James, is a comprehensive inventory of the manuscripts that were once owned by the famous 16th-century English mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and occultist, Dr. John Dee. The book contains detailed lists of the manuscripts that were in Dee's possession, as well as descriptions of their contents and their current locations. The author, M.R. James, was a renowned scholar of medieval and Renaissance literature, and his expertise in this area is evident in the book's thorough and well-researched descriptions of the manuscripts. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history of magic, alchemy, and the occult in early modern Europe, as well as those interested in the history of manuscript culture and the transmission of knowledge in the pre-modern period.
