[Transcriber's Note:
As explained in Footnote n, John Dee's Diary includes occasional words and phrases written in Greek script, but in the English language. Since a direct transliteration would spoil the effect, these passages are shown in the simple "Rotate-13" code. Details are given at the end of the text, before the Errata. A few words of true Greek have been transliterated and shown between +marks+. Latin words written in Greek script are treated the same way.
Letters written in superscript are shown in {braces} or as ordinals: A{o} (Anno), 5ª (quinta). For consistency, the abbreviation f^o in manuscript descriptions is shown as fº to match 4º and 8º.
Footnotes to the Diary have small letters: [a], [b]. Footnotes to the Catalogue are numbered: [1], [2]. Except for footnote references, all text in brackets is in the original, as are parenthetical question marks.]
