Summary: This biography presents Elias Ashmole (1617-92) as both a patriotic Englishman and a European scholar in a time of intense political upheaval. It also shows how he had the incredible foresight to negotiate the building of a museum in order to preserve important manuscripts, books and collections of 'rarities' for posterity.
