The Academy of Sciences, Humanities and Arts of Lyon (French: Académie des Sciences, Belles-Lettres et Arts de Lyon) is a French learned society founded in 1700.[1] The founders were:
- Claude Brossette, lawyer, alderman of Lyons, and administrator of the Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon;
- Laurent Dugas, President of the Cour des monnaies;
- Camille Falconet, future consulting physician of King Louis XIV and member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres;
- Antoine de Serre, adviser to the Cour des monnaies;
- Louis de Puget, naturalist;
- Father Jean de Saint-Bonnet,[a] professor at Trinity College;[b]
- Thomas Bernard Fellon.[2]
It appears to have continued to be active, with some intermissions,[1] until at least 2013.[3]
