Elizabethan America: The John Dee Tower of 1583
ISBN: 9781467967853 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Clues in the historical record and a close study of the design of the Newport Tower in Touro Park, Newport, R.I. have led me to conclude it was built to be the city-center of the first Elizabethan colony in the New World in 1583. The colonizing effort ultimately failed, but the solidly-built structure remained. The architect of the Tower, the polymath John Dee, even provided an "Owner's Manual" containing cryptic clues about how the Tower functioned, as well as a "hidden blueprint" of its dimensions. The Elizabethan State Papers reveal that in 1583, Narragansett Bay was called the Dee River,...

John Dee's America: The idea of America came from the mind of John Dee. And Rhode Island's first governor, Benedict Arnold, helped make it
ISBN: 9781517623869 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 588 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Part 1: In 1578, John Dee (1527-1608) wrote series of four manuscripts entitled Limits of the British Empire, explaining why Queen Elizabeth had a legal right to North America (except for Florida, which the Spanish already occupied). Dee's text was lost for centuries, but in 1976, it was discovered and acquired by the British Library. In it, Dee explains that earlier Englishmen like King Arthur, Saint Brendan, Prince Madoc, and John and Sebastian Cabot had already claimed the New World for England. The farsighted Dee even coined the term "British Empire." Convinced by Dee's numerous...

Leon Battista Alberti (Cryptically) Expresses: "The Eye is a Camera Obscura"
ISBN: 9781495391545 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Leon Battista Alberti made several references to miracoli della pittura (miracles of painting) in two of his early works, Vita (Life) and De Pictura (On Painting). After extensive research, author Jim Egan has concluded that these "miracles of painting" were the amazing full-detail and full-color images seen in a camera obscura. In Latin, camera obscura means "dark room." In a dark room with one small hole, the image of what's outside appears projected on the interior wall upside-down and reversed left-to-right. The room can be a people-sized room or a small box, like a pinhole camera....

The Newport Tower is John Dee's 1583 New World Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
ISBN: 9781477643907 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is Book 11 of my series of books on the history of the Newport Tower, the 28-foot tall stone-and-mortar structure that still stands today in Touro Park, Newport, Rhode Island. Book 1 through Book 8 (over 2000 pages) are a detailed explanation of my discovery that the Tower was designed by the English polymath John Dee. It was intended to be the city-center of the first Elizabethan colony in the New World, the first building of the British Empire (a term coined by John Dee). The Elizabethan State Papers reveal that in 1583, Narragansett Bay was named (by John Dee) the "Dee River and...

Sacred Symbol of Oneness by John Dee of London: An English translation of John Dee's 1564 Monas Hieroglyphica, which was written in Latin
ISBN: 9781501050602 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This English translation of John Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica is a companion piece to John Dee's original Latin, published by James Alan Egan. As some of John Dee's cryptic clues get "lost in translation," it's useful to study both versions. To simplify cross-referencing, this English translation mirrors the layout and design of the original Latin version. In other words, both this translation and the original have the "feel" of John Dee's original work except for a few minor differences. Dee's original, printed in Antwerp in 1564, had a "stapled binding" whereas this version has a "perfect...

Calvert Vaux and Touro Park: Did Calvert Vaux design the 1855 landscaping plan and the 1871 Music Stand?

Carefully analyzing photos, maps, and newspapers from the 1800's, research historian Jim Egan has concluded that Calvert Vaux created the 1855 landscape design for Touro Park in Newport, Rhode Island.

Squaring the Circle is the key to John Dee's Design for the 1599 Globe theater
ISBN: 9781500684600 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The intrepid historical researcher, Joy Hancox, came across a collection of 516 drawings once owned by John Byrom. Even though Byrom was a well-respected member of the Royal Society in the 1700s, his life was shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Joy has deduced that four of the drawings (shown above) were plans for the original 1599 Globe theater. And she suspects they were created by the Elizabethan polymath, John Dee (1527-1608). For 20 years James Egan has been studying the mathematician, astronomer, cartographer, and navigational expert, John Dee. To understand Dee's mathematical cosmology,...
