Description:In this essay I will show how magico-epistemological issues regarding method to distinguish a demonic illusion from a real divine miracle are grappled with in a treatise on angel magic presumably written in the latter half of the seventeenth century. This treatise has been considered by some to represent an unknown and ‘‘secret tradition’’ or transmission of the angelic conversations of John Dee and Edward Kelly, which is one of its main sources.The manuscript is titled A Treatise on Angel Magic, contains an intriguing blend of magical practices from the late medieval and early modern periods, including material taken and (as I will show) critically modified from parts of Dee’s diaries, and is purportedly written by one Dr. Rudd.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
