Dr. John Dee, Hellfire, Antiquitech, Great Fires and Floods.

[Fawkes]

The documented sources put him in Prague at the time of his death around 1597-98, for which there are 2 different versions, neither of which include resurrection. Again, where is the evidence to show that the illustration from the 1841 'Historical Romance' above isn't also fictional?

Obviously, Dee had already used the "elixir" he had to revive Fawkes with to previously revive Kelley, and probably took a swig of it for himself, too!

 

[Moorman]

That's very English - 'Moor', In Spanish it's Moro, as in Morocco, Armorica, but as I explained, it means 'foreign', like the Scottish 'sassenach' means outlander, or foreigner. Therefore, to claim that something in America was built by Moors (or Moros - especially in South America,) is to say that it was built by foreigners or 'people other than us'.

From "An English Etymologicial Dictionary". Two etymological word origins. Moor and Black-Moor.

1.MOOR [More, F. of More, Ital. Mohr, Teut..] a Native of Mauritania in Africa, a Black-moor.


2.BLACKMOOR, a Negro.

Is John Dee the historical Merlin? That might clear up some of the ambiguity regarding the Arthurian mythos.

 

[Jd755]

1550
John Dee travels to Paris where he lectures on Euclid’s Elements. Dee meets Oronce Finé (Ortelius) and Antoine Mizauld at about this time.
Now this is REALLY interesting as Euclids geometry doesn't work on a curved surface. Dee must have known this if he was lecturing on Euclid so why did he have anything to do with Mercator who was dreaming up a globe?
And not Ortelius he of map fame/infamy based in globe theory like Mercator.

For anyone interested they can attempt to make what sense they can from this project gutenburg offering of M I Dee aka John Dee's written words about Euclide.
