title="Antiquarian">antiquary</a>, <a href="/wiki/Natural_philosophy" title="Natural philosophy">natural philosopher</a> and writer. He was a pioneer <a href="/wiki/Archaeology" title="Archaeology">archaeologist</a>, who recorded (often for the first time) numerous <a href="/wiki/Megalith" title="Megalith">megalithic</a> and other <a href="/wiki/Ancient_monument" title="Ancient monument">field monuments</a> in southern England, and who is particularly noted for his systematic examination of the <a href="/wiki/Avebury" title="Avebury">Avebury</a> henge monument. The <a href="/wiki/Aubrey_holes" title="Aubrey holes">Aubrey holes</a> at <a href="/wiki/Stonehenge" title="Stonehenge">Stonehenge</a> are named after him, although there is considerable doubt as to whether the holes that he observed are those that currently bear the name. He was also a pioneer <a href="/wiki/Folkloristics" class="mw-redirect" title="Folkloristics">folklorist</a>, collecting together a <a href="/wiki/Miscellany" title="Miscellany">miscellany</a> of material on customs, traditions and beliefs under the title "Remaines of Gentilisme and Judaisme". He set out to compile <a href="/wiki/English_county_histories" title="English county histories">county histories</a> of both <a href="/wiki/Wiltshire" title="Wiltshire">Wiltshire</a> and <a href="/wiki/Surrey" title="Surrey">Surrey</a>, although both projects remained unfinished. His "Interpretation of Villare Anglicanum" (also unfinished) was the first attempt to compile a full-length study of English <a href="/wiki/Toponymy" title="Toponymy">place-names</a>. He had wider interests in applied mathematics and astronomy, and was friendly with many of the greatest scientists of the day. </p><p>Aubrey was the author of <i><a href="/wiki/Brief_Lives" title="Brief Lives">Brief Lives</a></i>, a collection of short biographical pieces. For much of the 19th and 20th centuries, thanks largely to the popularity of <i>Brief Lives</i>, Aubrey was regarded as little more than an entertaining but quirky, eccentric and credulous gossip. Only in the 1970s did the full breadth and innovation of his scholarship begin to be more widely appreciated. He published little in his lifetime, and many of his most important manuscripts (for the most part preserved in the <a href="/wiki/Bodleian_Library" title="Bodleian Library">Bodleian Library</a>) remain unpublished, or published only in partial form. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Aubrey&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-One_source plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-one_source" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>relies largely or entirely on a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_with_a_single_source" title="Wikipedia:Articles with a single source">single source</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Relevant discussion may be found on the <a href="/wiki/Talk:John_Aubrey##" title="Talk:John Aubrey">talk page</a>.

Richard Aubrey, his father, owned lands in Wiltshire and Herefordshire. For many years an only child, he was educated at home with a private tutor, he was "melancholy" in his solitude.

Collating as much information as he could, he left the task of verification largely to Wood, and thereafter to posterity. As a hanger-on in great houses, he had little time and little inclination for systematic work, and he wrote the "Lives" in the early morning while his hosts were sleeping off the effects of the night before. These texts were, as Aubrey entitled them, <i>Schediasmata</i>, "pieces written extempore, on the spur of the moment". Time after time, he leaves marks of omission in the form of dashes and ellipses for dates and facts, inserting fresh information whenever it is presented to him. The margins of his notebooks are dotted with notes-to-self, most frequently the Latin "<i><a href="/wiki/Quaere" title="Quaere">quaere</a></i>". This exhortation, to "go and find out" is often followed. In his life of <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Whitbread" title="Thomas Whitbread">Thomas Harcourt</a>, Aubrey notes that one Roydon, a brewer living in <a href="/wiki/Southwark" title="Southwark">Southwark</a>, was reputed to be in possession of Harcourt's petrified kidney: "I have seen it", he writes approvingly; "he much values it". </p><p>Aubrey himself valued the evidence of his own eyes above all, and he took great pains to ensure that, where possible, he noted not only the final resting places of people, but also of their portraits and papers. Though his work has frequently been accused of inaccuracy, this charge is misguided. In most cases, Aubrey simply wrote what he had seen, or heard. When transcribing <a href="/wiki/Hearsay" title="Hearsay">hearsay</a>, he displays a careful approach to the ascription of sources. For example, in his life of <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Chaloner_(regicide)" title="Thomas Chaloner (regicide)">Thomas Chaloner</a> (who, Aubrey notes, was himself fond of spreading rumours in the concourse of <a href="/wiki/Westminster_Hall" title="Westminster Hall">Westminster Hall</a>, coming back after lunch to find them changed), he recorded an inaccurate and bawdy anecdote about Chaloner's death, but subsequently found it to be in fact about <a href="/wiki/James_Chaloner" title="James Chaloner">James Chaloner</a>. Aubrey let the initial story stand in his text, while highlighting the error in a marginal note. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Works">Works</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Aubrey&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Works"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Brief_Lives"><i>Brief Lives</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Aubrey&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Brief Lives"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Brief_Lives" title="Brief Lives">Brief Lives</a></div> <p>In 1680, Aubrey began work on his collection of biographical sketches, which he entitled "Schediasmata: Brief Lives". He presented them to <a href="/wiki/Anthony_Wood_(antiquary)" title="Anthony Wood (antiquary)">Anthony Wood</a> in 1681 but continued to work on them until 1693, when he deposited his manuscripts (in three folio volumes) in the <a href="/wiki/Ashmolean_Museum" title="Ashmolean Museum">Ashmolean Museum</a>: they are now in the Bodleian Library, as MSS Aubrey 6–8. </p><p>As private, manuscript texts, the "Lives" were able to contain the richly controversial material which is their chief interest today, and Aubrey's chief contribution to the formation of modern biographical writing. When he allowed Anthony Wood to use the texts, however, he entered the caveat that much of the content of the Lives was "not fitt to be let flie abroad" while the subjects and the author were still living. </p><p>Aubrey's relationship with Wood was to become increasingly fraught. Aubrey asked Wood to be "my index expurgatorius": a reference to the Church's list of banned books, which Wood seems to have taken not as a warning, but as a licence to simply extract pages of notes to paste into his own proofs. In 1692, Aubrey complained bitterly that Wood had mutilated forty pages of his manuscript, perhaps for fear of a <a href="/wiki/Libel" class="mw-redirect" title="Libel">libel</a> case. Wood was eventually prosecuted for insinuations against the judicial integrity of the school of Clarendon. One of the two statements called in question was founded on information provided by Aubrey and this may explain the estrangement between the two antiquaries and the ungrateful account that Wood gives of Aubrey's character. It is now famous: "a shiftless person, roving and magotie-headed, and sometimes little better than crased. And being exceedingly credulous, would stuff his many letters sent to A. W. with folliries and misinformations, which would sometimes guid him into the paths of errour".<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A large part of the "Lives" was published in 1813 as <i>Letters Written by Eminent Persons in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries</i>.

Independently, in 1659, a self-appointed committee of Wiltshire gentry determined that a <a href="/wiki/English_county_histories" title="English county histories">county history</a> should be produced on the model of <a href="/wiki/William_Dugdale" title="William Dugdale">William Dugdale</a>'s <i>Antiquities of Warwickshire</i>. It was agreed that Aubrey would deal with the northern division of the county. </p><p>Aubrey chose to divide the work into two separate projects, on the antiquities and the natural history of the county respectively. The work on the antiquities (which he entitled <i>Hypomnemata Antiquaria</i>) was closely modelled on Dugdale, and was largely finished by 1671: Aubrey deposited his draft in the <a href="/wiki/Ashmolean_Museum" title="Ashmolean Museum">Ashmolean Museum</a> in two manuscript volumes.

Some of his interim observations were read to the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Society" title="Royal Society">Royal Society</a> in 1668 and 1675–6. In 1685 Aubrey recast the work, now modelling it on <a href="/wiki/Robert_Plot" title="Robert Plot">Robert Plot</a>'s <i>Natural History of Oxford-shire</i> (published in 1677); and it was effectively finished by 1690–91, when he transcribed a fair copy. Shortly afterwards the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Society" title="Royal Society">Royal Society</a> commissioned another transcript, at a cost of £7. In 1693 Aubrey asked his brother William Aubrey and <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Tanner_(bishop)" title="Thomas Tanner (bishop)">Thomas Tanner</a> to bring the project to completion, but despite their best intentions they failed to do so. </p><p>The manuscript of the <i>Naturall Historie</i> is now Bodleian MSS Aubrey 1 and 2. The Royal Society's copy, which includes material (mainly on supernatural phenomena) that Aubrey afterwards removed from his own manuscript, is now Royal Society MS 92.
