Summary

Dee's daybooks record ordinary chronology: travel, visitors, household affairs, births and deaths, finances, court contacts, weather, illnesses, library matters, and terse notes of intellectual work. They are less doctrinal than the angel diaries and more valuable as a social, biographical, and chronological scaffold for Dee's life and networks.
