The Dark Side of Sunthesis? Fraud and Substitution in Graeco-Roman Pharmacology
This paper examines one specific aspect of the compounding— sunthesis in Greek—of remedies in ancient pharmacy, namely the substitution of one or several of the ingredients stipulated in the original recipe. This aspect has both positive and negative facets. The positive is the art of substitution, which should theoretically rely on sufficient knowledge of the powers of ingredients to replace like for like. The negative facet is the implication o…

Paula S. De Vos, Compound Remedies
Paula De Vos’s fascinating story in Compound Remedies: Galenic Pharmacy from the Ancient Mediterranean to New Spain is that of the Mexico City pharmacy of apothecary Jacinto de Herrera y Campos, whose possessions had been sequestered and inventoried as part of a criminal investigation in 1755. De Vos uses the inventory (translated in an abridged form in Appendix 4) as a structuring tool to investigate five categories of pharmaceutical objects and…
Bodily Fluids in Antiquity
From ancient Egypt to Imperial Rome, from Greek medicine to early Christianity, this volume examines how human bodily fluids influenced ideas about gender, sexuality, politics, emotions, and morality, and how those ideas shaped later European thought.Comprising 24 chapters across seven key themes—language, gender, eroticism, nutrition, dissolution, death, and afterlife—this volume investigates bodily fluids in the context of the current sensory t…
When foods become remedies in ancient Greece
In the context of the professionalization of ancient medicine, the Hippocratic authors started to address the difference between food and medicine. They saw, however, some advantage in acknowledging the continuum between food and medicine. Scholars should avoid drawing too strict a boundary between ancient dietetics and pharmacology and should instead adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to the therapeutics of the Hippocratic texts
Botanizing Rulers and Their Herbal Subjects
This paper argues that plants are sometimes made to play the role of “biographical objects” in Greek and Roman texts. The stories linking plants and three rulers (Attalus iii, Mithradates vi, and Juba ii) suggest that the rhetoric of power associated with the Greek or oriental practice of botany was only progressively accepted by the Romans
Old Recipes, New Practice? The Latin Adaptations of the Hippocratic Gynaecological Treatises
There were two main gynaecological traditions in the early Middle Ages: the Soranic and Hippocratic traditions. This article focuses on the latter tradition, which was based on the translations into Latin of the Greek treatises Diseases of Women I and II. These translations, referred to here as Latin Diseases of Women and On the Diverse Afflictions of Women, contain a wealth of recipes, which are examined in detail. I ask whether recipes that had…
Hippocratic Recipes
This thesis examines the earliest extended collections of recipes preserved in Greek, the recipes of the so-called Hippocratic Corpus (late fifth or early century BC). I study the ways and formats in which pharmacological knowledge was transmitted in classical Greece. The compilers of the Hippocratic collections of recipes drew on a variety of sources, written and oral, including small catalogues of recipes comparable to those found on papyri fro…
Hospitals and Healing from Antiquity to the Later Middle Ages
The 16 papers gathered in this volume represent 26 years of Peregrine Horden's contribution to social history of medicine. They span a period of over a millennium, from the time of Hippocrates to the late Middle Ages, and engage with various traditions, Greek and Roman, Byzantine, Islamic, Christian and Jewish. The papers are divided into two sections: ‘Hospitals and Institutions of Care’ and ‘Sickness and Healing’. In the preface, Horden informs…

Mithradates' Antidote – A Pharmacological Ghost
Two kinds of sources are available to the historian to reconstruct the first centuries of the history of Mithradates' antidote: biographical information on Mithradates' interests in medicine, and a series of recipes. In this paper I argue that we cannot reconstruct the original recipe of Mithridatium from our existing sources. Instead, I examine how the Romans remodelled the history of the King's death and used the royal name to create a "Roman" …
