John Aubrey Livres

    12 mars 1626 – 7 juin 1697

    Cet érudit anglais est surtout connu pour sa collection d'ébauches biographiques concises, offrant un aperçu fascinant de la vie et des œuvres de ses contemporains. Il fut une figure pionnière tant dans l'archéologie que dans le folklore, enregistrant avec diligence des monuments historiques et des coutumes locales, contribuant ainsi à la préservation de connaissances précieuses. Ses recherches s'étendirent à l'étude de la toponymie anglaise et à des projets historiques inachevés, démontrant ses vastes intérêts académiques. Contemporain de scientifiques de premier plan, son travail reflète la curiosité d'un polymathe pour le monde.
