About the author
Born in Bergerac, France, on December 13, 1880, Marius Emmanuel Pozzi-Escot was a French author and scientist whose recorded work centers on chemistry, pharmacy, and related medical subjects. French national library records list him as Marius-Emmanuel Pozzi-Escot and note that he died in Lima, Peru, on January 29, 1963.
He is best known in English-language catalogs for The Toxins and Venoms and Their Antibodies (1906), a book that introduced readers to the science of poisons, venoms, and antitoxin research at a time when serotherapy was still a developing field. Library and book records also connect him with a broader body of scientific writing, showing a career shaped by practical scientific inquiry rather than literary fame.
Some later sources identify him as a professor linked to the University of San Marcos in Lima, and his family is also connected to Peru through his daughter, the composer Pozzi Escot. Because details of his life are scattered across catalog records rather than full biographical studies, the clearest picture that emerges is of a French-born scientific writer whose career and later life reached beyond Europe to Peru.
