Histoire des sciences traces the history of chemistry in the Middle Ages. Marcellin Berthelot sometimes spelled Marcelin born on October 25 1827 in Paris where he died on March 18 1907 is a French chemist physical chemist biologist epistemologist and politician. The fundamental conception that underlay all Berthelot's chemical work was that all chemical phenomena depend on the action of physical forces which can be determined and measured. When he began his active career it was generally believed that although some instances of the synthetic production of organic substances had been observed on the whole organic chemistry remained an analytical science and could not become a constructive one because the formation of the substances with which it deals required the intervention of vital activity in some shape. He made significant contributions to the field through his translations and analyses of Greek Syriac and Arabic treatises on chemistry and alchemy. His research into these historical Arabic texts allowed him to distinguish between different traditions of practical and theoretical alchemy and provided deeper insights into the origins and development of chemistry.
