Looking forward to it! Here's a reference on Dee you may not know. Chapter one of the book Arguing with Angels by the Norwegian scholar Egil Asprem includes an analysis of the magical books and diaries that I found useful

Thanks for that, much appreciated.

I met Egil at a conference (ESSWE) some years ago and will check that out.
