Summary "Inaugureele Rede" by Hieronymus David Gaubius is a scholarly address delivered in the early 18th century, specifically in 1731, during Gaubius's formal acceptance of the chair of Chemistry at the University of Leiden. This work, which can be classified as a scientific publication, emphasizes the legitimacy of Chemistry as a vital branch of knowledge deserving of its place among the academic sciences. The text argues for the significance of Chemistry in relation to both Philosophy and Medicine, highlighting its practical benefits and intellectual contributions. The address unfolds as Gaubius presents a compelling defense of Chemistry, contending that despite its historical stigma as a pursuit of unrefined artisans and alchemists, it is fundamentally a noble and essential science. He emphasizes that Chemistry not only requires rigorous study and a firm understanding of physical principles but also significantly overlaps with Medicine, enhancing the understanding of health and disease. By elucidating the intricate connections between Chemistry and other academic disciplines, Gaubius positions the former not merely as a supplement but as an indispensable part of the intellectual community. He ultimately calls upon the academic institutions to embrace and recognize the contributions of Chemistry, arguing for its rightful place in the realm of scholarly inquiry.
