Abstract
An analysis of John Dee's occult science, and its role in the sixteenth-century society. One of Dee's magical sources will be analysed in depth, as to be able to place Dee's magic into a context of (late) medieval theurgic magic. In doing so, theories about changes in magic and its place in sixteenth-century science are contested.
