Léon Guillaume Bouly (1872 - 1932) was a French inventor who devised and created the cinématographe.
After devising chronophotography devices, he applied a patent on a "reversible device of photography and optics for the analysis and synthesis of motions, aka cinématographe Léon Bouly" on February 12, 1892.
On december 27, 1893, he shortened his device name to cinématographe.
This device is able to perform both, shooting (? for fr:prise de vue) and projection. It uses a sensible film without perforations and all principles required by cinematography are available: the film's jerky sledding is synchronized with the shutter. Two of these devices are conserved in the French "Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers".
In 1894, Bouly did not paid the rent for his patents and the name "Cinématographe" became available again, it was patented by the Lumière Brothers who are not its original authors.
Today, modern historians agrees on the fact Léon Bouly was, before the Lumière Brothers, the true original inventor of the term cinématographe.
