Jabir ibn Hayyan
Jabir Ibn Hayyan
Arabian alchemist, regarded by some as the founder of molecular chemistry. His influence lasted for more than 600 years, and in the late 1300s his Latin name, Geber, was adopted by a Spanish alchemist whose writings spread the knowledge and practice of alchemy throughout Europe.
The Spanish alchemist Geber probably discovered nitric and sulphuric acids, and he propounded a theory that all metals are composed of various mixtures of mercury and sulphur.
