In 1587, he and his family were living with Edward Kelley and his family in Bohemia. Together, they performed studies involving a Piece of Eden known as the "Book". At this point, John Dee was also in the possession of a Crystal Ball.

Sometime later, Dee and Kelley entered into an argument about the Book, saying that it would destroy Kelley if he kept working with it. This led to a fight between the two, causing Dee to leave Kelley and his family in May 1589.[1]
In 1603, after Elizabeth Jane Weston married Johannes Leo and Queen Elizabeth I had died, Dee sent Elizabeth a wedding gift with Elizabeth I holding a golden apple and three goddesses standing at her side; the event resembling the Judgment of Paris.
