Nicolas Lemery (1645-1715) was a French pharmacist and chemist who is best remembered for his contributions to the development of modern chemistry. Lemery was born in Paris, France, in 1645 and attended the prestigious College of Harcourt. He later studied medicine in Montpellier and was awarded a Doctorate in Medicine in 1670.
Lemery’s contributions to modern chemistry began in 1673 when he published the first comprehensive treatise on pharmaceutical chemistry, Traité des substances médicinales simples (Treatise on Simple Medicines). This work provided an extensive description of the properties of different chemical substances and their uses in medicine.
Lemery was also a pioneer in the use of chemical analysis, particularly in the analysis of minerals. He developed a method of testing substances by heating them in a closed vessel and then measuring their weight to determine their composition. He also experimented with various processes to purify chemicals, such as distillation and sublimation.
