Most of the materials here are presented in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, as it is the best means I have discovered to present this work in a uniform manner which is accessible to users of most computer platforms.
The Adobe Acrobat Reader also allows one to view the graphics in much higher resolution than would be possible with GIF or JPEG images, and to print them out on laser printers with quality approaching PostScript files.
The latest version of the Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free from Adobe's web-site.
These works attempt to follow the layout of Dee's original diaries. I have expanded Latin abbreviations, and have regularized "i" "j" and "u" "v" to make the reading experience less jarring. Other than that, it follows Dee's spelling exactly.
Some lacunae in the original have been filled in from Elias Ashmole's fair copy of the MS., Sloane MS. 3677. Blank pages in these works are blank in the original manuscript.
Thanks to the kindness of Raymond Drewry, we are now able to offer "Mysteriorum Liber Primus" with translations of the Latin text into English, as well as a separate "Notes" document examining Dee and Kelly's sources, etc.
The current offerings of "Mysteriorum Liber Secundus" and "Mysteriorum Liber Tertius" include neither translations of the Latin, nor any notes. We look forward to adding these in the near future, as well as a continuation of the remaining three books in Sloane MS. 3188.

This site, in case you haven't already noticed, is under construction. Expect a great deal of new material in the very near future.
