Early History

You can help Wikipedia by introducing appropriate citations.
The first thermometer was a thermoscope. Different versions of the thermoscope were invented by several inventors around the same time. The first to put a numerical scale on the thermoscopes was the Italian inventor Santorio Santorio. In 1593, Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer (using the contraction of air to draw water up a tube). In 1714, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer.
