See also Dee's annotations of Gerhard Dorn 's Chymisticum artificium naturæ, theoricum & practicum:
"...the work is not heavily annotated by Dee but, a note on the title page suggests why this work might have caught his attention. He states that Dorn has used the hieroglyphic monad, Dee’s symbol for the unity of the cosmos, as his basis for drawing the symbols in the Chymisticum artificium natura. The symbol was the subject of a short explication that Dee published in 1564, and Dee speculates that this must have been Dorn’s source for the work, done apparently without Dee’s knowledge or consent."
