The book of Soyga (ed. from British Library MS Sloane 8 as Aldaraia sive Soyga vocor)

The Book of Soyga, also titled Aldaraia, is a 16th-century Latin treatise on magic, one copy of which is known to have been possessed by the Elizabethan scholar John Dee. After Dee's death, the book was thought to be lost until 1994 when two manuscripts were located in the British Library (Sloane MS. 8) and the Bodleian Library (Bodley MS. 908), under the title Aldaraia sive Soyga vocor, by Dee scholar Deborah Harkness. The Sloane 8 version is also described as Tractatus Astrologico Magicus, though both versions differ only slightly [PRÆFATIO] [PREFACE] [Section 1] [Section 1 Translation] [Section 2] [Section 2 Translation] First Part [Section 3] [Section 3 Translation] [Section 4] Hicque suum clarus inceptum suscipit ignis Sit licet in motu firmum caput hic capit Aer Hic titulum sumit tellus diffusa per orbem Unde caput sumit haec scriptio limfa revelat [Section 4 Translation] And here bright fire takes its beginning Now Air takes the next chapter This section takes up Earth, spread throughout the universe.
