They are not for the most part contemporary notices, but apparently inserted at various times by Dee when professionally consulted as an astrologer. tT “‘ Anno 1555, Aug. 1, hora quarta a meridie Wigornie natus Dominus Edouardus Keleus,’’ MS. Ashm. 1788, fol. 140, where there is a horoscope of this nativity in the handwriting of Dr. Dee. Ashmole, in his MS. 1790, fol. 58, says ‘* Mr. Lilly told me that John Evans informed him that he was acquainted with Kelly’s sister in Worcester, that she shewed him some of the gold her brother had transmuted, and that Kelly was first an apothecary in Worcester.” ; CAMD.
