Chemist? edit
The word "chemist" was not used until the 16th century. 121.98.204.148 (talk) 09:58, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- Actually in the 16th and 17th centuries many terms were used concurrently, including the many variants of 'alchemist', as well as the word 'chymist' and its variants (see Etymology of chemistry#From alchemy to chemistry). But historians do not regard only those named 'chemist' (which would be mostly 19th-century and beyond) as part of the history of chemistry. Please see, for example, William R. Newman and Lawrence M. Principe (1998), "Alchemy vs. Chemistry: The Etymological Origins of a Historiographic Mistake," Early Science and Medicine, vol. 3, pp. 32-65. History of chemistry books, such as for example Robert P. Multhauf (1966), The Origins of Chemistry, London: Oldbourne, generally start with the archeological findings from the prehistoric period and early antiquity.
- In this case, the source, which is published by Indiana University Press and so presumably reliable, clearly calls Tapputi a 'chemist'. Unless other sources would contradict that, Wikipedia shouldn't call this 'dubious'. I reverted your edit accordingly. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 14:47, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
