Tombstone of Nicolas Flamel, French Scribe

Tombstone of Nicolas Flamel formerly at Saint-Jacques la Boucherie today at the Cluny museum. Nicolas Flamel (1330 - March 22, 1418) was a French scribe and manuscript-seller. After his death, Flamel developed a reputation as an alchemist believed to have discovered the philosopher's stone and to have thereby achieved immortality. According to texts ascribed to Flamel almost 200 years after his death, he had learned alchemical secrets from a Jewish converso on the road to Santiago de Compostela. He has since appeared as a legendary alchemist in various fictional works. There is no indication that the real Flamel of history was involved in alchemy, pharmacy or medicine. (cropped and cleaned).
