Jean NicotDied 5 May 1600 (born c. 1530).French diplomat who introduced tobacco to the French court. In 1560, while serving as ambassador in Portugal, he was shown a tobacco plant in the garden of Lisbon botanist Damião de Goes, who claimed it had healing properties. Nicot sent home seeds and leaves of tobacco, recommending its marvelous therapeutic value. He had applied it to his nose and forehead and found it relieved his headaches. Nicot sent snuff to Catherine de Medici, the Queen of France to treat her migraine headaches. She was impressed with its results. The tobacco plant, Nicotiana tabacum, and its active substance, nicotine, derive their names from his. He also compiled one of the first French dictionaries, Thresor de la langue françoyse (1606).« |
