[The influence of French pharmacy and chemistry in Portugal in the 18th century: Nicolas Lémery].

The earliest divulgators of the work of Lémery and of Moyse Charas in Portugal in the 18th century were D. Caetano, F. da Fonseca Henriques and J. Homem de Andrade, but the most important was the Frenchman Jean Vigier, established in Lisbon before 1682 and noted as the author of the Farmacopeia Ulissiponense. Yet another was M. Rodrigues Coelho. The considerable influence of Lémery made itself felt essentially in the area of practice.
