Antoine Clot was born at Grenoble on November 7, 1793.
Antoine Clot graduated in medicine and surgery at Montpellier.
After practising for a time at Marseilles Antoine Clot was made chief surgeon to Mehemet Ali, viceroy of Egypt. At Abuzabel, near Cairo, he founded a hospital and schools for all branches of medical instruction, as well as for the study of the French language; and, notwithstanding the most serious religious difficulties, instituted the study of anatomy by means of dissection. In 1832 Mehemet Ali gave him the dignity of bey without requiring him to abjure his religion.
