Biography

Hennig Brandt, amongst other things, discovered the Phosphore in 1669. It succeeds in that when it tried the Distillation salts resulting from the evaporation of Urine, to extract gold from it, and obtained a white material which shone in the darkness, and burned by producing a bright light (phosphorus). It communicated its secrecy with Daniel Kraft under the condition of revealing it with anybody; but Johann von Löwenstern-Kunckel ends up discovering on its side the means of obtaining phosphorus (1674). It accepted a pension of Jean-Frederic, voter of Hanover.
