Layers of Meaning in Alchemy in John Dee's Monas hieroglyphica - Paul Ferguson - 12-14-2023 By György E Szönyi " 'John Dee and alchemy' – this phrase, particularly in and around Bohemia, almost automatically triggers the qualification: “Dee was interested in alchemy, but the real adept in their tandem was his scryer, Edward Kelly.” Well, this is not necessarily true. Although it is indeed probable that Kelly was more accomplished and also more devoted to pursuing the way of transmut-ing base metals to gold, his master approached alchemy in a more subtle and complex way." https://www.academia.edu/45634029/Layers_of_Meaning_in_Alchemy_in_John_Dees_Monas_hieroglyphica_and_its_Relevance_in_a_Central_European_Context_2015_
