The French physicist Edme Mariotte (1620–1684) discovered the same law independently of Boyle in 1679, [11] after Boyle had published it in 1662. [10] Mariotte did, however, discover that air volume changes with temperature. [12] Thus this law is sometimes referred to as Mariotte's law or the Boyle–Mariotte law.

The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called gas laws.The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.
Richard Towneley was born at Nocton Hall, in Lincolnshire, on 10 October 1629, eldest son of Charles Towneley (1600–1644) and Mary Trappes (1599–1690).. The Towneleys were prominent members of the Roman Catholic minority in Lancashire and long-time Stuart loyalists.
Equations of state essentially begin three centuries ago with the history of the ideal gas law [5]: = Boyle's law was one of the earliest formulation of an equation of state. In 1662, the Irish physicist and chemist Robert Boyle performed a series of experiments employing a J-shaped glass tube, which was sealed on one end.
Robert Boyle FRS [2] (/ b ɔɪ l /; 25 January 1627 – 31 December 1691) was an Anglo-Irish [3] natural philosopher, chemist, physicist, alchemist and inventor. Boyle is largely regarded today as the first modern chemist, and therefore one of the founders of modern chemistry, and one of the pioneers of modern experimental scientific method.
The second of these essays (De la nature de l'air) contains the statement of the law that the volume of a gas varies inversely as the pressure. [10] [11] It was made from the discovery by Robert Boyle in 1662; Mariotte said Boyle's theory was right only when the temperature is constant. However, outside France it is best known as Boyle's law. [12]
