Antoine Constant Saucerotte (13 August 1805 in Moscow - 3 November 1884 in Lunéville) was a French physician known in the 19th century for his popularisation work.
[1] After entering France with his father, he completed his classical studies in philosophy at the Royal College of Nancy in 1824.
[1] Shortly after his appointment as Professor of Philosophy, he founded the teaching of natural history at the college and composed a small treatise for primary schools which was published in up to 21 editions.
[3] On 14 September 1838, he was appointed Chief Physician of the Civil and Military Hospital of Lunéville[5] which enabled him to publish numerous observations in the "Bulletin général de thérapeutique", the "Gazette médicale de Paris" and the weekly Gazette.
His name soon acquired an honourable reputation in France as well as abroad, so that when, in 1846, August Wilhelm Henschel began publishing a journal of history and medical literature in Breslau, which he named Janus, he asked Saucerotte for permission to register him as a French collaborator with Émile Littré and Charles Victor Daremberg.
