Prof Christopher Girtanner FRSE (1760–1800) was a short-lived but influential Swiss author, physician and chemist. He was also Privy Councillor to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg. LifeHe was born in St. Gallen in Switzerland on 7 December 1760, the son of Hieronymus Girtanner, a banker and his wife, Barbara Felicitas. He studied variously at St. Gallen, Lausanne, Paris, Edinburgh and London. He received his doctorate (MD) from the University of Göttingen in 1782. He spent some years in Britain, and apparently owned a "salt manufactory near Edinburgh" (presumably at Joppa) in 1789.[1] In 1790 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were Daniel Rutherford, Andrew Duncan and John Playfair.[2] In 1796 he analysed the appearance of syphilis into Europe in the late 15th century.[3] The ongoing debate of his day was as to whether the disease appeared spontaneously in Europe or was brought by the discovery of the Americas.[4] He died in Göttingen in Germany on 17 May 1800. FamilyIn 1790 he married Catherina Maria Erdmann. Publications
