A history of the role that the occult has played in the formation of modern science and medicine, 'The Rosicrucian Enlightenment' has had a tremendous impact on our understanding of the western esoteric tradition. Yates clears away the factual fog surrounding the origins og the Rosicrucians. The author was a scrupulous and brilliant historian who has not, as far as I can find, been seriously challenged on her major conclusions by another scholar of similar standing and specialty. She investigate the development of magical beliefs, alchemy, science and the connection of these in the Rosicrusian worldview. An unmatched classic in the field. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 269 pages.

Mr. French has written an in-depth look at one of the most complicated men of the English and European Renaissance, and still managed to make his work accessible to the non-scholastic reader. John Dee is widely misunderstood these days, I am sorry to say, presented as either a "magician" or as primarily an astrologer. I found the book very useful and insightful in trying to understand Dr. Dee as both a mathematical and philosophical genius and as a conflicted man trying to make his way among people who had no way of appreciating the depth of his learning and multiple fields of expertise. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; xii, 243 pages.
