Theorem XI: the monad with its parts named

John Dee, 1564 “Monadis istius, Luna et Sol, sua separari volunt elementa, in quibus denaria vigebit proportio; idque ignis fieri ministerio.” Monas Hieroglyphica, Theorem XI, the lines set in capitals beside the figure.

John Dee, 1564 “Arietis nota mystica, ex duobus semicirculis, in communi puncto connexis, constituta.” Monas Hieroglyphica, Theorem XI, its opening.

Symbolica, 2026 Dee's Latin, put into English here: Of this Monad, the Moon and the Sun wish their elements to be separated, in which the tenfold proportion will prevail; and that this be done by the ministry of fire. And: the mystical sign of Aries, made of two semicircles joined at a common point. The labels beside the figure name its parts: the crescent is the Moon, the circle the Sun, the cross the Elements, and the sign of Aries at the foot is Fire.
