title: [Eugène-Humbert Guitard, 1884-1976, initiator of the Société d' histoire de la pharmacie and founder of its bulletin].
abstract: In 1913, the year when he publishes Deux siècles de presse au service de la pharmacie et cinquante ans de << L' Union pharmaceutique >>, Guitard creates the << Société d' histoire de la pharmacie >> (he is its genuine father, and not Charles Buchet) and starts its Bulletin (subsequently Revue) the editorship of which he will handle half a century. The author focuses on the striking features of his outstanding personality (acchivist, librarian, curator of a museum, expert at writing, bookseller, printer and publisher, hellenist, professor of history of pharmacy, journalist, columnist, musician, art-lover, urbanist, active defender of our cultural legacy) and the remarkable qualities of his four great works of history of pharmacy.
