In 1650 Ashmole translated and published Arthur Dee's alchemical anthology Fasciculus Chemicus under the annagrammatic name of James Hasholle (by substitution of the letter J for I in the Roman alphabet). In 1652 he published his most important work the Theatrum Chemicum Brittanicum a collection of British alchemical texts, including those of Canon Ripley. He corresponded with many of the leading antiquarians and scholars of his day, including Sir Thomas Browne who wrote to him of his friendship with Arthur Dee. Ashmole's memoirs were published in 1717.
