This is a Wikipedia reference article rather than independent scholarship, cited narrowly for checkable specifics: the date of 26 March 1583 given for Edward Kelley's reception of the twenty one letter alphabet, the letter names and their Latin equivalents, the right to left direction recorded in John Dee's own diaries, the Sloane manuscript shelfmarks that preserve the primary record, and the article's own honest statement that no consistent letter to number system has been recovered from Dee's papers. This record holds it at the tier appropriate to a collaboratively edited general encyclopedia. Use it for these specific documented points about Enochian's origin and manuscript record; a claim about its later occult reception needs a dedicated scholarly history such as Asprem's, not this general reference article.
