I am very excited to announce that the final stages of production are underway for a new and scholarly edition of John Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica. Translated from the Latin by Dr. Teresa Burns and Dr. Nancy Turner, the Ouroboros Press edition will be the most complete version of the text since the original 16th century printings.
Dr. Burns has written an introduction and provided scholarly footnotes which places the proper context for Dee's famous enigmatic book.
At left you can see the front cover of the dust jacket which features new artwork by Michelle Anderst who  also redrew all the illustrations of the book modeled on the original printing.
This edition will also include the letters John Dee wrote to Emperor Maximillian and to the printer Willem Silvius wherein Dee relates details about the book not found in other editions. The text has been completely reset in an elegant layout by Joseph Uccello who was able to benefit from Dee's letter to the original printer providing specific instructions about laying out the book based on the original manuscript.
Final prepress production is nearing completion and it will soon be sent to press.
Publication Release Date: October/November 2021
Copies may be reserved by Pre-Ordering the Book. [Click on the Book Cover for more details].

I am very pleased to be able to offer the Penguin Dictionary of Symbols along with our other selected titles. Originally in French this translation brings one of the best books on symbols to English readers. While this book is not image heavy as many symbol books are, it is instead more comprehensive in terms of depth and scope. This is reflected in its ample text entries and over 1,000 pages.

The more symbols books one has in one's library the better but this one should absolutely be among them for the serious student of symbolism. This is one of my top 10 reference books - Highly Recommended!
