Arnulphe d'Aumont, also spelled Daumont, was a French medical doctor, born in Grenoble on 27 December 1720 and died in Valence on 8 August 1800. After receiving his doctorate in 1744 he became royal professor at the University of Valence in Dauphiné. In 1744 he published an account of the public celebrations given by the University of Montpellier for the recovery of the king's health, which three physicians of that school were credited with bringing about. In 1762 he published a memoir on a new manner of administering mercury for venereal and other diseases, in which his method was to use glazed animal milk. He also wrote the article on childhood, headed Enfance, for the Encyclopédie. The source names no specialty and no further career detail.
