Praxis Chymiatrica [Latin]

By Johannes Hartmann

Praxis Chymiatrica, a seminal work in the field of iatrochemistry, presents the chemical and pharmaceutical teachings of Johannes Hartmann (1568-1631), the first professor of chemistry at the University of Marburg. Compiled and augmented by his student and son-in-law, Marcus Cornacchini, this treatise offers invaluable insights into the theory and practice of early modern chemical medicine.

Detailing the preparation of remedies derived from minerals, metals, and other substances through alchemical processes, Praxis Chymiatrica reveals the intricate connections between chemistry, medicine, and natural philosophy in the 17th century. Its enduring historical significance lies in its comprehensive approach to chemical pharmacy, representing a pivotal moment in the development of modern pharmaceutical science.
