Christophle Glaser, one of Lemery’s masters – Christophle Glaser was born in Basel in Switzerland. He was apothecary of the King’s brother and became demonstrator of chemistry at the King’s Gardens in Paris. He had a bad reputation reported by Fontenelle or by the Marchioness of Sévigné. He had also been suspected during the inquiry concerning the Brinvilliers’ murders. He was also known as the author of a book of chemistry, entitled Traité de la Chymie, that had been translated into German or English. He received Lemery in his laboratory. Fontenelle reported that Lémery left Glaser very quickly to go to Montpellier, but he is supposed to have stayed for a longer time with him. Lemery and Glaser had the same opinion on many subjects and their books were similar on many points. It is then established that Glaser was really one of Lemery’s master.
Christophle Glaser était originaire de Bâle en Suisse. Il était apothicaire du frère du Roi et devint démonstrateur de chimie au Jardin du Roy à Paris. Il avait une mauvaise réputation rapportée par Fontenelle ou la Marquise de Sévigné. Il avait été soupçonné durant l’enquête concernant les assassinats de la Brinvilliers. Il était également connu comme l’auteur d’un livre de chimie, le Traité de la Chymie, qui fut traduit en allemand et en anglais. Il avait reçu Lémery dans son laboratoire. Fontenelle écrivit qu’il l’avait quitté rapidement, mais il est possible qu’il soit resté plus longtemps auprès de Glaser. Lémery et Glaser avaient la même opinion sur de nombreux sujets et leurs ouvrages se ressemblaient sur bien des points. Il est donc prouvé que Glaser fut effectivement l’un des maîtres de Lémery.
