M. Emm. (Marius Emmanuel) Pozzi-Escot

Born in Bergerac, France, on December 13, 1880, Marius Emmanuel Pozzi-Escot was a chemist, professor, and author whose books ranged across analytical chemistry, gas analysis, microchemistry, colloid chemistry, and toxicology. Library records and public-domain catalogs show that he wrote extensively and was published in both French and English, including The Toxins and Venoms and Their Antibodies.

A biographical article from Peru describes him as trained at the University of Nancy as a chemical engineer, later working in laboratories near Nancy before building an academic career in Lima. He became associated with the University of San Marcos, reflecting a life that bridged French scientific training and Latin American academic life.

Today, Pozzi-Escot is best remembered through his substantial body of scientific writing. His books have remained visible through library catalogs and digitized editions, which suggests a practical, teaching-focused author interested in making new chemical methods and ideas accessible to working readers.
