Overview

The Sloane Manuscripts in the British Library contain many important texts by Dr. John Dee and his contemporaries. The selected manuscripts in the Sekhet-Maat Lodge Library and Research Archive include work by Dee, Elias Ashmole, and numerous grimoires. The films were taken of the manuscripts some time ago, so the quality of the images is excellent.
