Nikolaos Myrepsos¿ Dynameron

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.
