Philo of Byzantium is credited with the construction of the first thermoscope (or Philo thermometer), an early version of the thermometer.

1617 — Giuseppe Biancani published the first clear diagram of a thermoscope; 1624 — The word thermometer (in its French form) first appeared in La Récréation Mathématique by Jean Leurechon, who describes one with a scale of 8 degrees. [2] 1629 — Joseph Solomon Delmedigo describes in a book an accurate sealed-glass thermometer that uses ...
1593 – Galileo Galilei builds a first modern thermoscope. But it is possible the invention was by Santorio Santorio or independently around same time by Cornelis Drebbel. The principle of operation was known in ancient Greece. c. 1611 –1613 – Francesco Sagredo or Santorio Santorio, put a numerical scale on a thermoscope.

Up to this point, heat and cold were believed to be qualities of Aristotle's elements (fire, water, air, and earth). Note: There is some controversy about who actually built this first thermoscope.
