Description

Explore the history of ancient medicine with Pharmacy and Drug Lore in Antiquity by Professor Scarborough. This collection brings together fourteen detailed essays that examine the evolution of pharmacology and medical botany across Greece, Rome, and Byzantium. This scholarly work looks at how ancient practitioners combined theoretical constructs like elements, qualities, and humors with practical applications. You will find insights into how magic, astrology, and alchemy influenced medical practices, alongside a study of the herbal lore found in Theophrastus' Enquiry into Plants. From the clinical use of salves for burns to the sophisticated nature of Hippocratic pharmacology, these studies provide a deep look into the medical practices of the ancient world. This volume is an essential resource for those interested in the history of pharmacy, medical botany, and the development of ancient healthcare systems.
