Sloane MS 3189, British Library
Between March and July of 1583, John Dee recorded a manuscript he called Liber Loagaeth — "The Book of Speech from God." ◆ Dictated through Edward Kelley's scrying, the book consists of 49 leaves, most containing grids of 2,401 letters arranged in 49 rows and 49 columns. ◆ The spirits instructed that the book be dictated in reverse order: Leaf 49 first, Leaf 1 last. ◆
The manuscript has never been decoded. ◇ It has never been published in a complete modern critical edition. ◇ Most Enochian practitioners have never seen its contents. What you are looking at is the architecture of an unsolved book — its dimensions, its patterns, its silences. The Viewer does not claim to know what the book says. It shows you what the book looks like, so you can see for yourself what remains unknown.
49 leaves. 96 grid-pages. 2401 cells per standard grid. One unsolved manuscript.
