the lingua adamica was:
a primordial language, a medium of direct communication with God .... were
meant as a direct instruction of the lingua adamica. ...

"we could perhaps return to the lingua adamica[48], abandoning
representational language and all the technology that rests upon it.
Sounds interesting to me. Adam is often scorned on the fact that he never
asked Eve's opinion when he started to name "every living creature in the
Garden". A share in the proceedings would have been just fair.
Good night.

Two recent monographs have shown once again that John Dee is worthy of the
attention of scholars from many different fields of studies, since he was
himself involved in the whole spectrum of Renaissance scholarship.1 In his
early
career he had had a humanistic orientation and focused on mathematics but
from the 1580s he gave up these endeavours and almost entirely involved
himself
with angel magic, that is to say spiritual séances, or in Dee’s terminology “
angelic conversations”. During these “conversations”, Dee – aided by
certain rituals, paraphernalia (including a crystal ball or “shewstone”), and
a
medium, or “scryer” – tried to gain various pieces of information from the
celestial beings.
