Edward Kelly was born Edward Talbot in Worcester and attended Oxford for a few years, but did not obtain a degree. He was also a noted alchemist on his own right, publishing three alchemical works: The Stone of the Philosophers, The Humid Way, and The Theatre of Terrestrial Astronomy. He seems to have practiced as a notary for a number of years in London or Lancaster. Kelly had his ears cut off for forgery, While the much older Dee had both ears. Kelly received knighthood at the hand of the Bohemian Emperor Rudolph II as a reward for his alchemical works (possibly as a result of the small quantities of the Red and White Tinctures which he possessed), but Rudolph later imprisoned him when he failed to deliver the quantities of alchemical gold he had promised. Kelly died while attempting to escape from prison. --Ta|oN _______________________________________________ "When the wise man points at the moon, the fool looks at the finger"--Zen Proverb
