Feola, Vittoria (Author)
In this paper I discuss Elias Ashmole's collections and views about John Dee. I consider Dee as an object of collection against the broader background of Ashmole's collecting practices. I also look at the uses to which Ashmole put some of his collections relating to Dee, as well as those which he envisaged for posterity. I argue that Ashmole's interest in Dee stemmed from his ideas about the uses of antiquity in the reconstruction and transmission of knowledge. They partly reflected Ashmole's interpretation of Francis Bacon's Advancement of learning as well as the influence of William Backhouse and William Oughtred's ideas about publishing natural philosophy in English.
