Ye Necronomicon

in English, translated by Dr. John Dee, 1586, while touring Europe with Edward Kelly

Believed to have been translated from a Greek copy Dr. Dee viewed in Prague or Transylvania. The Dee Necronomicon was heavily expurgated and much of the material was heavily glossed and reinterpreted by the translator. Like the Latin Necronomicon, the work's survey of the mythos is nearly universal. Nonetheless, cryptic references and contradictory interpretations abound. This manuscript was given to the Miskatonic University Library as part of the Whateley Bequest. (Johnson, Sam, and Sandy Antunes. "Miskatonic University: A Handbook to the Pride of Arkham."
