Ottoman Greek physician, chemist and lexicographer
Constantine Rodocanachi (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Ροδοκανάκης; 1635–1687) (also known as Constantine Rhodocanaces, Constantine Rhodocanakis and Konstantinos Rhodokanakis) was an Ottoman Greek physician to Charles II of England, chemist, lexicographer and academic.[1][2] Rodocanachi was born on the island of Chios on 5 December 1635 and lived much of his life in London.[3]
Rodocanachi worked on the 1685 version of Lexicon manuale Græco-Latinum, & Latino-Græcum with Cornelis Schrevel and Joseph Hill (lexicographer).[4] Rodocanachi also compounded his own medicines and sold them in London and abroad.[5] He published a pamphlet titled Alexicacus, Spirit of Salt of the World in 1664, which promoted his panacea (medicine) salt solution.[6]
