Clay Holden and the John Dee Publication Project.

Elias Ashmole’s Preface:

Be it remembred, That the 20th: of August 1672,

I received by the hands of my Servant Samuell

Story, a parcell of Dr: Dee’s Manuscripts, all

written with his owne hand; vizt: his Conferences

with Angells, which first began the 22th of Dec: anno:

1581, & continued to the end of May anno: 1583,

where the printed Booke of the remaining

Conferences (published by Dr: Casaubon) begins,

& are bound up in this volume.

Beside these, the Booke intituled, The 48 Claves

Angelicæ, also, Liber Scientia Terrestris

Auxilii & Victoria (These two being those very

individuall Bookes which the Angells commanded

to be +burnt , & were after ++restored by them

as appeares by the printed Relation of Dr: Dee’s

Actions with Spirits pag: 418 & 419) The

Booke intituled De Heptarchia Mystica

Collectaneorum Lib: Primus, and a Booke of

Invocations or Calls, begining with the Squares

filld with letters, about the Black Cross.

These 4 Bookes I have bound up in another volume.

All which, were a few daies before delivered to

my said Servant, for my perusall (I being

then at Dr: William Lillies house at Hersham

in Surrey) by my good freind Mr: Thomas

Wale, one of his Majesties Warders in the

Tower of London.

1586

+10. April

++30. April}

The 5th: of Sept: following Mr: Wale (having heard

of my retourne to Towne) came to my office in the Excise Office

in Broadstreete, & told me he was content to exchang

all the foresaid Bookes, for one of myne, vizt:

The Institution, Lawes & Ceremonies of the most

Noble Order of the Garter, to this I agreed, and

provided one, which I sent him fairely bound, &

gilt on the Back.

On the 10th: of the said Sept: Mr: Wale came thither

to me againe, & brought his wife with him, from

her I received the following account of the

preservation of these Bookes, even till they came to

my hands, vizt: That her former Husband was

one Mr: Jones a Confectioner, who formerly dwelt

at the Plow in Lumbardstreet London, & who, shortly

after they were married, tooke her with him into

Alde streete among the Joyners, to buy some

Houshold stuff, where (at the Corner house) they saw

a Chest of Cedarwood, about a yard & halfe long,

whose Lock & Hinges, being of extraordinary neate

worke, invited them to buy it. The Master of the

shop told them it had ben parcell of the Goods of

Mr: John Woodall Chirurgeon (father to Mr: Tho:

Woodall Late Serjant Chirurgeon to his now Majestie

King Charles the 2d: (my intimate friend) and

tis very probable he bought it after Dr: Dee’s

death, when his goods were exposed to Sale.

As a further

testimony of the

sence of Mr. Wales

kindnes; shortly

after his death, I sent

for his son, &

bestowed on him,

one of my Deputies

places in the Excise,

with an allowance of

80 £ per Annum.

Twenty yeares after this (& about 4 yeares before

the fatall Fire of London) she & her said husband

occasionally removing this Chest out of its usuall

place, thought they heard some loose thing ratle

in it, toward the right hand end, under the Box or

Till thereof, & by shaking it, were fully satisfied

it was so: Hereupon her Husband thrust a peece

of Iron into a small Crevice at the bottome of

the Chest, & thereuppon appeared a private drawer,

which being drawne out, therein were found divers

Bookes in Manuscript, & papers, together with a

litle Box, & therein a Chaplet of Olive Beades, &

a Cross of the same wood, hanging at the end of them.

They made no great matter of these Bookes &c:

because they understood them not, which occasioned

their servant Maide to wast about one halfe of

them under Pyes & other like uses, which when

discovered, they kept the rest more safe.

About two yeares after the discovery of these

Bookes, Mr: Jones died, & when the fire of London

hapned, though the Chest perished in the Flames, because

not easily to be removed, yet the Bookes were taken

out & carried with the rest of Mrs: Jones her

goods into Moorefields, & being brought safely

back, she tooke care to preserve them; and after

marrying with the foresaid Mr: Wale, he came to

the knowledge of them, & thereupon, with her

consent, sent them to me, as I have before

set downe.
