Nicholas Flamel

Nicholas Flamel (early [wikipedia:Fourteenth century 1330]-[wikipedia:Fifteenth century 1418]) was a successful French alchemist due to his reputed work on the Philosopher's Stone. Flamel and his wife allegedly decoded enough of an ancient book to successfully replicate its recipe for the Philosopher's Stone, producing first silver in [wikipedia:1382 1382], and then gold. Flamel supposedly died in 1418, but an elderly couple, Nicholas and Perenelle, helped archaeologist Henry "Indiana" Jones Jr. in 1933.
