12 de marzo de 1626 – 7 de junio de 1697
Este erudito inglés es conocido sobre todo por su colección de concisos bocetos biográficos, que ofrecen una fascinante visión de las vidas y obras de sus contemporáneos. Fue una figura pionera tanto en la arqueología como en el folclore, registrando diligentemente monumentos históricos y costumbres locales, contribuyendo así a la preservación de valiosos conocimientos. Sus esfuerzos se extendieron al estudio de la toponimia inglesa y a proyectos históricos inacabados, demostrando sus amplios intereses académicos. Contemporáneo de científicos destacados, su obra refleja la curiosidad de un polímata por el mundo.
