RE: VMs: John Dee in Itali

[jean-yves artero <jyartero@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi again

Here is an other record:

http://www.johndee.org/calder/html/Notes6.html

Cooper, Athenae Cantab., Vol. II, p. 499, states that
Dee was in Venice in 1563, where he met Thomas Ravenna
(author of De Vita Hominis ultra 120 annos
protrahenda-a subject in which Dee displays some
interest, and whic is made much of in the little work
of Bacon's he annotated). No evidence is given for
this assertion, though in immediately succeeding years
Dee was in receipt of letters and books from Italian
scholars. (Dee claims acquaintance with a
Ranconentus-a possible basis for Cooper's
statement-but explicitly states that he knew this
person, who is in any case not the same man as
Tommasso Rangorii or Philologus, while at the
university of Paris in 1550: C.R. Ch. 2, p. 8).) The
fact of such a visit is proved however, by the B.M.
copy-556, b, 20-of Jacopo Silvertre's Opus Novum,
Rome, 1526 (called in Dee's booklist "Opusculum
decifris, de ratione occulte scribendi") which is
inscribed on the title page "Joannes Dee 1563: Junij
1- Venetijs."
