Dr. John Dee's Spiritual Diaries

While I've had a copy of the facsimile of the Meric Casaubon's 'True and Faithful Relation' for years (several different copies in fact - Antinone, Magickal Childe and the god awful Kissenger press) and I've always wanted to type it up into modern English, or at least a more readable version. There is a version on line at Archive.org, but the text and epub versions are largely unreadable.
Joseph Peterson's 'Twilight Grotto' site has some of it, but not much, so I was going to have a go myself, however, I soon realised this was going to be a monumental task and basically gave up.

So, I was really pleased to read that Stephen Skinner had had exactly the same idea! And, unlike me, he didn't give up. You can find the full details of the book here - Skinner - Spirit Diaries
As soon I read about it I had to order and went 'all in' and ordered the leather bound edition (not cheap!)

Not cheap indeed, but certainly worth it.
The book itself is huge measuring 35cms by 23cms by 5cms. making the second largest book I own (only Jung's 'Red Book' is bigger) and not exactly the sort of thing you can read on a train. Unfortunately this also makes it too big to fit on my book shelves, so I'm trying to find a home for it...

Anyway here's some images of the book itself.

Here's a side on view

 Note that it does look like Skinner's original release in the 1970's

And here's an of image of the all important text.

Same layout as original but in clear modern English

A closer look at the text

  Mightily impressive! and being able to easily read the text is fantastic, well worth the money.
