I don't know that much about Dee. I think
he's more from the achemical era that
preceeded Bacon. Bacon went a long way
toward founding modern chemistry.

The conspiratorial
Baconians would like to connect Bacon to
Dee but I don't see the connection, Bacon is
connected to the Italian empirical scientists
like Telesio and Galileo. The Italian side of
their correspondence is extant, Bacon's
went the way of Collier.

Bernardo Telesio is 'Barnardo' and Marcellus
is Marcellus Palingenius in the first Act of
Hamlet. If you go to a Shakespeare site
that clusters all the speeches of a character
on one page you can see how the empiricist
Barnardo (Telesio) is the skeptic while
Marcellus (Palingenius) who believed in
multiple worlds is the True Believer in ghosts.

I think I'm the first to spot this . . . but when
you have the right author . . .

There is one account of Leicester taking
Bacon, when he was just a kid, down to Dee's
estate to look at Dee's library but that's
the only connection (other than invented)
between Bacon and Dee. Dee, as we
know, skipped off on a fool's errand to
the Continent, allowing the local morons
to burn Montlake and it's incomparable
library to the ground. A library Leicester
had paid for.
