Theodore d'Henouville
Theodore Hyacinth d'Henouville (born June 17, 1715 in Paris , † March 30, 1768 ibid) was a French doctor and chemist.
Baron D'Henouville was the son of the medicine professor Hyacinth Theodore D'Henouville (1686-1758), the editor of the Codex Medicamentarius Parisiensis (1732) and 1730-1733 dean of the medical faculty. Henouville studied medicine and chemistry at the Collège de France and the Jardin du Roi , where he was a student of Guillaume-François Rouelle . He received his doctorate in medicine in 1742, but mostly dealt with chemistry and pharmacy. In 1748 he succeeded his teacher Rouelle as a demonstrator at the Jardin du Roi. In 1752 he became a member of the Academie des Sciences and gave up his post as a demonstrator. He published mostly in the essays of the Academy of Sciences.
In 1747 he succeeded in synthesizing borax from soda and boric acid. His treatise on this met with a great response at the time. He published a new edition of the chemistry textbook by Nicolas Lémery .
His brother Hyacinth Theodore D'Henouville (1707–1787) was a doctor at the Hotel de Dieu hospital and two-time dean of the medical faculty in Paris. He was considered one of the most learned doctors in Paris.
