Nikolaos Myrepsos’ Dynameron, is critically edited after eight centuries. This one is the second edition. It is a text of the late Byzantine period, following the long tradition of similar medicinal and pharmaceutical manuals since antiquity. As a consequence, one can easily recognize earlier types of Greek words, but also several loans from the Latin, Arabic and Persian language. Dynameron was known in central Europe from an early translation into Latin, which had had a great influence on the edition of several Pharmacopeias, as well as on academic textbooks of therapeutics.weiterlesen
