Jacques Coitier
Edit ProfileCareer
He was chief physician to Louis XI of France and president of the Chambre des comptes. His name is spelled in several ways, most often Coictier (the spelling used by Victor Hugo in his novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame), but also Coittier, Cotier, Coytier or Coctier. An analysis of his signatures by Achille Chereau has allowed Coitier to become the standard spelling - this was the name cited most often in medical annals.
He died in Paris.
