Dies ist die erste moderne englische Übersetzung von Dioscorides' monumentalem Werk De materia medica, das er im 1. Jahrhundert unserer Zeitrechnung schrieb. Sie stützt sich auf den altgriechischen Text, den Max Wellmann 1906-1914 redigierte. Die medizinischen Stoffe, deren Herkunft, Zubereitung und Gebrauch beschrieben sind, schließen mehr als 600 Pflanzen ein, 136 Tiere und tierische Produkte und über 130 Minerale. Die Identifizierung der Pflanzen beruht auf den neuesten Erkenntnissen der Forschung zur griechisch-römischen Botanik. Bereits in der 2. Auflage hat die Autorin drei neue Register hinzugefügt: Pflanzen: Griechisch-Englisch, Tiere: Griechisch-Englisch und Minerale: Griechisch-Englisch, die gemeinsam mit den ursprünglichen Registern von beiden Sprachen aus einen leichteren Zugang zum Text bieten. Das Buch wendet sich an Klassische Philologen, an Historiker der Medizin und der Naturwissenschaften, an Ethnobotaniker und andere Anthropologen und an Forschungs-Pharmakologen, die in alten und volkstümlichen medizinischen Praktiken nach neuen Chemotherapien suchen. This is the first modern English translation of Dioscorides’ monumental De materia medica, written in the first century of our era. It is based on the Greek text established by Max Wellmann in 1906-1914. The medicinal materials of which the sources, preparations, and uses are described include more than 600 plants, 136 animals and animal products, and over 130 minerals. The identification of plants is based on the most recent scholarship on ancient Graeco-Roman botany. In this third edition, as in the second, the author has added three indexes: Plants and Plant Products: Greek-English, Animals and Animal Products: Greek-English, Minerals and Mineral Products: Greek-English that together with the original indexes now offer easy access to the text from either language. The book will be of interest to classical philologists, to historians of medicine and of science, to ethnobotanists and other anthropologists, and to research pharmacologists who explore ancient and folk medical practices in the search of new chemotherapies.
