Résumé
" Unknown consequences of the chemical philosophy of Jean-Baptiste Van Helmont (1578-1644) in Central and East Europe. Panegyric of Van Helmont by the Rumanian scientist Demeter Cantemir (1701) At the end of the XVIIth century and in the beginning of the XVIIIth, the philosophical and chemical thought of Jean-Baptiste Van Helmont was alive in Central and East Europe, while its influence in West Europe was very attenuated. We know indeed that the helmontian doctrine was taught at the Greek Academy in Constantinople and that Demeter Cantemir (1673-1753), Rumanian historian, philosopher and scientist, who was educated at that school, was an enthusiastic disciple of Van Helmont. Cantemir planned to translate the works of the Belgian scientist into Rumanian. He edited in 1701 IOANNIS BAPTISTAE VAN HELMONT encomium in autorem et virtutem doctrinae eius, intended as a panegyric to the thought of the master. He is also the author of an important unpublished work I. B. Van Helmont, physices universalis doctrina, in which he explains the philosophical and iatrochemical ideas of Van Helmont.
