Josten with \u2018an annotated edition of his autobiographical notes (including the previously unread cipher notes), of his correspondence, and of other relevant sources\u2019 (dustwrapper blurb). It was published to much critical acclaim in 1966, and&nbsp;<em>Elias Ashmole (1617-1692)<\/em>&nbsp;has remained the cornerstone of Ashmole scholarship to this day: for instance, the digital edition of Ashmole\u2019s correspondence at the University of Oxford takes this work as its \u2018key bibliographic source\u2019 as well as the basis for the edition (Howard Hotson and Miranda Lewis, eds,&nbsp;<em>Early Modern Letters Online<\/em>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/emlo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk\/\">http:\/\/emlo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk<\/a>, created 2009-2015).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The editor and author of the biographical introduction, the historian of science C.H. Josten (1912-1994), had discovered Ashmole\u2019s diary in cipher while working at the Bodleian Library in 1949. He \u2018was a German by birth, an Englishman by adoption, choice, and taste\u2019, and had \u2013 following years of opposing Nazism and then being involved with the denazification process \u2013 started working at Duke Humfrey\u2019s Library at the Bodleian Library in June 1948, \u2018Apart from decoding Ashmole\u2019s diaries, Josten was adept at astronomy, in the history of early chemistry (alchemy), and, pre-eminently, in early astronomical instruments\u2019, and was therefore \u2018appointed Curator of the Museum of the History of Science in the old Ashmolean building in Broad Street, Oxford, in 1950 [&#8230;]. In the old Ashmolean, his achievements will be recalled for the great contribution which he made to the collections and as Ashmole\u2019s remembrancer\u2019 (Ian Lowe, \u2018Obituary: Kurt Josten\u2019,&nbsp;<em>The Independent<\/em>, 11 July 1994).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/3150_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10002\" style=\"width:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/3150_03.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/3150_03-174x300.jpg 174w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/3150_03-203x350.jpg 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charles Webster reviewed&nbsp;<em>Elias Ashmole (1617-1692)<\/em>&nbsp;in the&nbsp;<em>British Journal for the History of Science<\/em>, stating that this \u2018monumental edition of materials relating to Elias Ashmole is a fitting climax to [Josten\u2019s] earlier studies [on John Dee and Robert Fludd].

Josten has amply repaired this neglect and has compiled documents relating to Ashmole into a fully annotated text [&#8230;], to produce a work which will be a valuable complement to E.

R.E.W. Maddison had worked as an industrial chemist and a schoolmaster at Wellington College before devoting his professional energies to the history of science.
