Antoine Baumé
Antoine Baumé (26 February 172815 October 1804) was a French chemist. Life He was born at Senlis. He was apprenticed to the chemist Claude Joseph Geoffroy, and in 1752 was admitted a member of the École de Pharmacie, where in the same year he was appointed professor of chemistry.

The scale remains associated with his name but is often improperly spelt "Beaumé". Of the numerous books and papers he wrote the most important is his ''Éléments de pharmacie théorique et ...
