It is unclear who actually was the first scientist to prepare sulfuric acid. Johann Van Helmont is often given credit, as the scientist who first prepared it, ca.1600.

Related Information:

There is documentation referring to it, dating from about 2600 years ago (appearing on a Sumerian list). So we know that there must have been preparation, and uses for it, prior to that. Documentation from about the beginning of the Common Era show that many physicians, scientists, alchemists, and philosophers observed, used, and worked with it. It is likely that some of these prepared it for themselves, but no documentation exists as proof of who or when.
