It may be of some interest that John Dee and Walter Raleigh knew each
other.

Subject: VMs: Joachim Gans & Jan
Baresch
Hi
Joachim Gans was a metallurgist, Jan Baresch worked
with metals. It
is assumed that our Baresch was an alchemist and so the
Gans and
Baresch characters can be assumed to have mutual interests. It is
said
that Joachim Gans was related to David Gans in Prague and he
was
aboard the Tyger on Walter Ralegh's expedition to Roanoke
with
Thomas Harriot. If the Gans of the Marci letter can be linked with
this
family then I think there may be a real breakthrough. I have ordered
the
biography of David Gans to see if I can pick anything up from
that.
Jeff
