Commentary
Frappe d’origine. Pierre-Jean-Baptiste Chomel est né à Paris en 1671. Docteur en 1697, il devient professeur de pharmacie et de matière médicale puis médecin du roi par quartier en 1706. Apprécié pour son savoir botanique, il est l’auteur d’un “Abrégé de l’Histoire des plantes usuelles” en trois volumes et qui eut neuf éditions. Son jardin, rue de l’Arbalète, est à l’origine de l’École de pharmacie. Doyen élu et réélu, il poursuit ardemment la lutte contre les chirurgiens et apothicaires et fait préparer les plans du nouvel amphithéâtre. Il meurt en juillet 1740 avant la fin de son second décanat.
