As 13th July was the anniversary of John Dee's birth in 1527, I thought I'd give an overview of the life and career of this fascinating Tudor man, a well as recommend some books on him. I hope you find the video interesting and useful.

Excellent
On the grounds that Dee will be 500 on 13 July 2027, we have a mere 3 years to try & get a genuine celebration of one of this country’s greatest men ever organised.
Will anyone reading this be willing to contribute anything interesting or help in some way?
