In the novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein read about the following works of three very intelligent men...
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa
Philosophy means 'love of wisdom' and is the study of problems and questions about nature, existence, soucres of knowledge, values, concepts of truth, reason, mind, language and more. Philosophers like to distinguish right from wrong and reason why. People may recognize Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) as a philosopher who also had a concern with discovering the Philosopher's Stone. He learned eight languages and studied alchemy and philosophy. Alchemy is the study of chemistry and philosophy, concerning methods of discovering ways to turn copper and other metals into gold and to solve ways to prevent humans from aging. Some alchemists would do tests on metal, liquors, production of gunpowder, ink, dyes, paints, cosmetics, ceramics, glass and ways to heal diseases.
Paracelsus - Philippus Aureolus {Theophrastus Bombastus Von Hohenheim}
Paracelsus (1493-1541), who was known as Theophrastus when he was a boy, was a German physician and alchemist who established the role of chemistry in medicine. A physician is a medical doctor or a medical practitioner and they provide health care such as diagnosis, treatment for diseases, sickness, injuries etc. Usually physicians will focus on certain categories such as anatomy, physiology and being able to understand the science of medicine. Paracelsus worked on the use of chemicals and minerals in medicine. He is also credited for discovering treatment such as syphilis, gout, leprosy, and ulcers with mercury. A conversion believed to be possible by the alchemists of the time and Paracelsus may have wondered about turning lead into gold.

Saint Albertus Magnus
Albertus (1193/1206-1280) was a German Dominican who studied science, religion, alchemy, chemistry, astrology (the study of planets, the sun and moon, human charateristics and activities), magic, and the devil. He's one of the alchemists that may have succeded in discovering the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone is a type of chemical substance that is said to be capable of turning base metals, especially lead into gold and it's also believed that it can help humans live longer. Albertus was the inventor of the pistol and the cannon.
