Jean-Joseph[1] Menuret, called Menuret de Chambaud[2] (23 January 1739 – 15 December 1815) was a French physician and author of a number of medical treatises. He also contributed to the Encyclopédie by Diderot and d'Alembert.
Menuret studied medicine at the University of Montpellier with Antoine Fizes. Returned to practise in Montelimar after he obtained his doctorate, he published a number of books and nearly 80 articles in the Encyclopedia by Diderot.
He then went to Paris and became physician of the king's stables and doctor of the Countess of Artois.
He became an émigré at the Revolution and settled in Hamburg. He returned to Paris after the Coup of 18 Brumaire.
Menuret's first marriage with Louise Cartier de Bois Martin from Valence remained childless. After Cartier died in 1773, Menuret married Marie-Elisabeth Monneron (born 1745),[3] daughter of Antoine Claude Monneron (1703–1791),[4] a tax farmer of Annonay, Ardèche and Augustin Monneron's sister. They had one son, André Menuret – who remained single – and two daughters, Joséphine Menuret and Alexandre Menuret.
