The first medical book published in the American colonies. The English Physician is a humble vest-pocket-sized 94-page medical guide for the common person, by the prolific herbalist and author Nicholas Culpeper. It was a staple in 17th-century England, as it was short, written in accessible prose, and inexpensive; and perhaps as attractive, it took a decidedly skeptical view of ""official"" medicine, relying instead on popular remedies. Culpeper's philosophy was to teach the common folk to minister to themselves by providing them with the tools and knowledge for self-help. Published in Bost

In the pre-modern times, while medicine was still relying on classical authorities on herbal remedies, a new engagement with the plant world emerged. This volume follows intertwined strands in the study of plants, examining newly introduced species that captured physicians' curiosity, expanded their therapeutic arsenal, and challenged their long-held medical theories. The development of herbaria, the creation of botanical gardens, and the inspection of plants contributed to a new understanding of the vegetal world. Increased attention to plants led to account for their therapeutic virtues, to test and produce new drugs, to recognize the physical properties of plants, and to develop a new plant science and medicine.

The French pharmacist Nicolas Jean-Baptiste Gaston Guibourt (1790-1867) first published this work in two volumes in 1820. It provided methodical descriptions of mineral, plant and animal substances. In the following years, Guibourt became a member of the Académie nationale de médicine and a professor at the École de pharmacie in Paris. Pharmaceutical knowledge also progressed considerably as new methods and classifications emerged. For this revised and enlarged four-volume fourth edition, published between 1849 and 1851, Guibourt followed the principles of modern scientific classification. For each substance, he describes the general properties as well as their medicinal or poisonous effects. Illustrated throughout, Volume 1 (1849) begins with an introduction that clarifies Guibourt's approach to pharmaceutical science. The volume then goes on to describe the properties of minerals.

Die altägyptische Medizin des 2. Jahrtausend v. Chr. Galt als die beste ihrer Zeit im gesamten östlichen Mittelmeerraum und Mesopotamien. Ihre Wertschätzung beruhte vor allem auf dem umfangreichen Wissen der ägyptischen Ärzte um die Heilkraft von Arzneimittelpflanzen. Diese, auf empirischem Wege erlangten Kenntnisse, sind uns in zahlreichen Papyri überliefert. Der erste Teil des Bandes listet die in den altägyptischen Papyri genannten Pflanzenprodukte auf. Anhand kurzer, ins Deutsche übersetzter Textpassagen wird für jedes die medizinische Verwendung dokumentiert. Dabei lassen sich für viele Materialien Anwendungsschwerpunkte erkennen, die Rückschlüsse auf ihre pharmazeutische Wirkung erlauben. Die botanische Identifizierung der einzelnen Heilpflanzen ist jedoch bis heute nur zu einem geringen Teil möglich. Um dennoch einen Einblick in den möglichen und auch wahrscheinlichen altägyptischen Heilpflanzenschatz zu gewinnen, werden im zweiten Teil des Bandes die Pflanzen vorgestellt, die in der neuzeitlichen ägyptischen Volksmedizin eine Rolle spielen. Als Quelle dienen dafür die Schriften Prosper Alpins aus dem 16. Jahrhundert und die neusten Forschungen zu den noch heute in Ägypten genutzten Arzneimittelpflanzen. Soweit es möglich ist, sind den einzelnen Pflanzen noch Informationen zu ihrer Verwendung in der koptischen Heilkunde und Erwähnung bei Plinius und Dioskurides beigefügt. Basierend auf den archäobotanischen Arbeiten der letzten Jahre wird überprüft, ob die jeweilige Heilpflanze zur heimischen Flora Ägyptens gehört oder durch Handelsbeziehungen bereits im 2. Jahrtausend v. Chr. für die Ärzte erreichbar war.
