Summary
The opening book begins with Dee's urgent prayer for divine wisdom and moves into the earliest surviving angelic sessions. The material shows Dee testing the legitimacy of what appears in the stone, asking whether the spirits are good, and seeking instruction that will serve God rather than curiosity or treasure-seeking. Barnabas Saul and then Edward Kelley/Talbot enter the record as scryers. Major themes are discernment of spirits, the status of the stone, the role of Michael/Uriel/Raphael, and Dee's desire for a wise human or angelic teacher.
