Nicolas Flamel ( French: [nikɔla flamɛl]; c. 1330 – 22 March 1418) was a French écrivain public, a draftsman of public documents such as contracts, letters, agreements and requests. He and his wife also ran a school that taught this trade.
Long after his death, Flamel developed a reputation as an alchemist believed to have created and discovered the philosopher's stone and to have thereby achieved immortality. These legendary accounts first appeared in the 17th century. According to texts ascribed to Flamel almost 200 years after his death, he had learned alchemical secrets from a Jewish converso on the road to Santiago de Compostela. He has since appeared as a legendary alchemist in various fictional works.
