Elias Ashmole war ein englischer Antiquar mit einer baconschen Neigung zur Naturforschung. Seine umfangreiche Bibliothek und seine Sammlungen spiegelten ein breites Interesse wider, das von Geschichte und Recht bis hin zu Alchemie und Botanik reichte. Obwohl er Gründungsmitglied der Royal Society war, die für die Entwicklung der experimentellen Wissenschaft von zentraler Bedeutung war, waren seine Interessen ebenso antiquarisch und mystisch wie wissenschaftlich. Er vermachte seine riesigen Sammlungen und seine Bibliothek der Universität Oxford und gründete damit das Ashmolean Museum.
