John dee is interested in many fields, including his deep fascination with mysticism. His great interest made him inadvertently create the largest personal library in Elizabethan England at that time, which was visited by famous scholars from all over the world.
Fortunately for modern historians, Andy is a prolific writer with a good life record. However, why he played such an important role in English courts is still an incredible dilemma.
Although Sandy has held several posts in his life, he has caused amazing waves in various fields.
He is a technical student at St. John's University, so that after obtaining his bachelor's and master's degrees, Dee decided to work directly in the royal court under the rule of Queen Mary I. This is a portrait of john dee, an unknown artist in16th century.
However, as he became more and more interested in mathematics and astrology, his relationship with the royal family became chaotic.
1555, Queen Mary I arrested him on the charge of "calculation", because mathematics and magic were regarded as close relatives during this period.
He was accused of treason and imprisoned for some time until Bishop Edmund Bonner finally acquitted him. 1558, when Elizabeth I became queen three years after Sandy was arrested, Sandy stood up for the court again.
She made him her astrological adviser, giving him the right to choose the exact date of her coronation.
Later, he was entrusted with many important court duties, such as helping Elizabeth realize her exploration ambition. It is rarely mentioned in the book New World that Dee actually helped open up the adventure journey of England in the16th century and helped different captains master the mathematical skills of sailing.
It was he who provided the tools for sailing, and he was a little professional in the art of sailing.
Driven by the common desire to rebuild the British Empire, Sandy and Queen Elizabeth I worked tirelessly in North America.
But by 1583, he gave up his job as a maritime expert and concentrated on studying the natural and supernatural forces in the universe. John dee's most famous job is trying to communicate with the spiritual world, especially the angels in heaven.
Before this work, he tried to understand the unified factor of nature, which he thought could be discovered by combining magic and mathematics. Dee wrote his first astrological book, Monas Hieroglyphs, in which he discussed all aspects of the symbols he created to represent the universe, Dee's hieroglyphs, and he explained the meaning of hieroglyphs in Monas hieroglyphs, that is, from top to bottom: the moon, the sun and the moon.
In the field of public affairs, this article borrowed a lot from Christian Kabary doctrine, and was greatly coveted before his death.
However, for Andy, finding a prestigious patron was an arduous battle, and finally he got tired of this work about the universe.
It was at that time that Dee began to concentrate on finding angels more seriously, and finally joined forces with a media named Edward Kelly, who was 28 years younger than him. By constantly meeting with angels, Sandy and Kelly claimed to have received a gift of a new alphabet, which was said to have been given to them by angels.
They called this language "angelic language" and later called it "Enoch language".
However, less than ten years after they met, Kelly and Sandy's interests began to shift again.
Kelly himself claims that he is very talented in alchemy. He can turn ordinary metals into gold.
Therefore, Kelly continued to cooperate with Dee as his planner, but he spent more time trying to change the matter and looking for john dee's magic tools on the stone of the legendary philosopher: gold plate, wax plate, timely ball and polishing mirror.
The Wikimedia Association, which has been together for seven years, lives a nomadic life and keeps learning the newly discovered alphabet. 1589, came to an abrupt end. Kelly returned to the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, and Sandy returned to England.
Sandy lived many years longer than his former friends, continued to work and made them immortal with his angel literature and Enoch literature.

"With the passage of time, Wikimedia has increasingly criticized Dee's works in mysterious ways. 1589 After parting ways with Kelly, he became the warden of Manchester Christian College in England.
1608, john dee was not loved by James VI, the heir of Elizabeth I, and died in poverty. Although john dee's life ended in this way, he was still regarded as an Elizabethan wizard.
Although his efforts in the angel world have few followers, his works have evolved into a modern magic and religious practice and continue to be used by mysterious organizations all over the world.
20 16, researchers once again thought of john dee's mysterious way.
When they analyzed this famous painting by X-ray (the picture above in this article), they were shocked to find a hidden element. This painting depicts "john dee's experiment before Queen Elizabeth I".
It is reported that Dee first painted a circle of skulls in front of the Queen, but I am not sure why the artist Henry Gilad Grindoni painted skulls first, but it may be that "after Elizabeth's death, scholars will paint Dee as a deceived fool.
Perhaps it was these heritages that inspired Grendoni to add bones to his paintings. Perhaps it was the Victorian obsession with death, but why did he paint on these bones? Curator Katie Burkwood gave a reason: "Greendoni must make it look like what we see now. Very solemn, from the appearance, very mysterious, very scary.
These two different impressions embody two different impressions of Tijen and his struggle.
