=== Receiving the ''Angelic Keys'' === About a year later, at the court of King [[Stephen Báthory]] in [[Kraków]], where both alchemists stayed for some time, another set of texts was reportedly received through Kelley.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}} These texts comprise 48 poetic verses with English translations, which in Dee's manuscripts are called {{lang|la|Claves Angelicae}}, or ''Angelic Keys''. Dee was apparently intending to use these ''Keys'' to open the "Gates of Understanding"{{sfnp|Dee|1659|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=iikdAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA77 77]}} represented by the magic squares in ''Liber Loagaeth'': {{Blockquote|I am therefore to instruct and inform you, according to your Doctrine delivered, which is contained in 49 Tables. In 49 voices, or callings: which are the Natural Keys to open those, not 49 but 48 (for one is not to be opened) Gates of Understanding, whereby you shall have knowledge to move every Gate...<ref>The angel Nalvage, cited in {{harvp|Dee|1992|p=77}}.</ref>|The angel Nalvage}} {{Blockquote|But you shall understand that these 19 Calls are the Calls, or entrances into the knowledge of the mystical Tables. Every Table containing one whole leaf, whereunto you need no other circumstances.<ref>The angel Illemese, cited in {{harvp|Dee|1992|p=199}}.</ref>|The angel Illemese}}
