The authors have discovered what happened to John Dee's most importantmanuscript, his book of personal angelic invocations which he kept in Latin, andhow it was preserved and developed by 17th century magicians into full workingmagical system.

How only a small part of this material reached the Hermetic Order of theGolden Dawn in the 1880s.  Even this was then suppressed by the chiefs ofthe Order, and it did not appear in Israels Regardie's monumental work on theOrder rituals.

They have also traced how the classical techniques of invocation andevocation drawn from the late midiaeval grimoires, were passed through JohnDee's magic, via Elias Ashmole, to the aristocratic angel magicians of the 17thcentury, including some the most powerful and influential figures in England.

In the 20th century many fanciful constructions were added to GD Enochian bywriters such as Aleister Crowley, who were however all unaware of the completelydeveloped system that already existed, and which is here published for the firsttime!
