Christophe Glaser
Christophe Glaser (* around 1615 in Basel , † 1672 or 1678 in Paris or Basel) was a pharmacologist of the 17th century .
Life
Little is known about his training. He probably learned the profession of pharmacist in Basel , in some cases a university degree with a degree in medicine or medicine and pharmacology is also accepted in 1643. References in his works suggest that he must have traveled to Transylvania and what was then Hungary .
In 1658 Glaser opened a thriving pharmacy in Paris. Among other things, he was the pharmacist of Louis XIV and Philip I d'Orléans . He worked at the Jardin du Roi from 1660 to 1672 and was appointed professor at an unknown date. In connection with the poisoning trial against Marie-Madeleine de Brinvilliers from 1672 onwards, he was suspected of being involved because the Marquise de Brinvilliers had obtained her ingredients from his pharmacy. The investigation against Glaser led to the introduction of the obligation to keep the poison book for pharmacists in France.
In his works he dealt with the theoretical foundations of chemistry and chemical practice and left behind chemical recipes. In his work he did not go back to the basics of alchemy . His works had a certain importance in the field of iatrochemistry . The glaserite bears his name after him.
