This book is a breathtaking travel through history, the outcome of a three year research. During that time the writer explored, travelled, studied, and decoded this unique, historical and of great value material. Old books, manuscripts, papyruses, notes and narrations are the main sources of this exceptional essay. A time retrospection to the pharmaceutical science that’s extend from ancient times to renaissance, the history of pharmaceutical and therapeutic science in the Byzantium, the monasticism and the therapeutics in Mouth Athos, and plenty of pharmaceutical recipes from the antiquity to the twentieth century, is the content of this book’s chapters.
