Alembics, 16th Century
Ambroise Pare (1510 - December 20, 1590) was a French surgeon, anatomist and inventor. He was royal surgeon for kings Henry II, Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III and is considered one of the fathers of surgery and modern forensic pathology. The 1585 edition of Pare's Oeuvres (Collected Works) represents the final summary of his life's work. It has over twelve hundred folio pages, with nearly four hundred illustrations drawing upon a lifetime of practice. Pare includes a very practical treatise on the preparation of various medicines. He is impressed with the healing powers of such aromatic spices as cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, and he devotes a chapter on how to distil the essence of spices and herbs to concentrate their power. These are alembics, the forerunner of laboratory retorts, used for gentle boiling and then condensing the vapors of the material at hand. A water bath is used to keep the heat gentle and uniform.
