A translation of MS. Ashmole 1790?

[John J. Coughlin]

I have also seen reference of Sloane MS. 3645 being a 17th century English translation of MS. Ashmole 1790 but I do not have this MS. to comfirm.

Any one know?

Sloane MS 3645 fols. 22-38, 'A worthy specimen of the great Catastrophie...' is a 17th century English translation of Dee's 'Praefatio Latina in Actionem...' on which see my response on the Ashmole MS 1790 thread.

Clay Holden included a transcript of this as an appendix to the Magickal Childe (1992) edition of 'A True and Faithful Relation...'
