Topic: Claude Geoffroy


  
  Bismuth - LoveToKnow 1911
It was probably unknown to the Greeks and Romans, but during the middle ages it became quite familiar, notwithstanding its frequent confusion with other metals.
These obscurities began to be finally cleared up with the researches of Johann Heinrich Pott (16921777), a pupil of Stahl, published in his Exercitationes chemicae de Wismutho (1769), and of N. Geoffroy, son of Claude Joseph Geoffroy, whose contribution to our knowledge of this metal appeared in the Memoires de l'academie francaise for 1753.
Torbern Olof Bergman reinvestigated its properties and determined its reactions; his account, which was published in his Opuscula, contains the first fairly accurate description of the metal.

BAUME, ANTOINE (1728-1894), French chemist, was born at Senlis on the 26th of February 1728.
He was apprenticed to the chemist Claude Joseph Geoffroy, and in 1752 was admitted a member of the Ecole de Pharmacie, where in the same year he was appointed professor of chemistry.
The money he made in a business he carried on in Paris for dealing in chemical products enabled him to retire in 178o in order to devote himself to applied chemistry, but, ruined in the Revolution, he was obliged to return to a commercial career.

 Delambre (print-only)
Claude Mathieu, who was a student of Delambre, wrote in his article on him in Biographie universelle:-
It was an ideal position for Delambre for he lived at in Geoffroy d'Assy's house and, choosing to accept far less in payment that d'Assy offered, he accepted a small pension and enjoyed living cheaply but learning all he could.
In 1787 Geoffroy d'Assy moved into a new house in the le Marais district of Paris, west of the Bastille, and in 1788, encouraged by Lalande, he began building an observatory for Delambre above his bedroom on the top floor of the house.

Claude Monet left for the South of France on 14 January 1888, just over four years after his first trip to the Riviera with Renoir in late December 1883.
Whilst with Renoir, Monet explored the Mediterranean coast, where he discovered Antibes, a walled city on the C“te d'Azur, midway between Nice and Cannes, which he described as a "small fortified town, bathed to a golden crust by the sun" (quoted in J. Pissarro, Monet and the Mediterranean, exh.

Bismuth, which has been known since ancient times, was often confused with lead and tin.
Bismuth was first shown to be a distinct element in 1753 by Claude Geoffroy the Younger.
Bismuth does occur free in nature and in such minerals as bismuthinite (Bi) and bismite (Bi The largest deposits of bismuth are found in Bolivia, although bismuth is usually obtained as a by-product of mining and refining lead, copper, tin, silver and gold.
