Research Associate, History of Science and Medicine Smithsonian Institution will speak on
“Medicinal Plants of the Mediterranean: A Unique Tradition” Physicians of Antiquity collected a vast amount of information about the therapeutic uses of natural resources, particularly plants. This remarkable body of knowledge, which is best illustrated by Hippocrates, Dioscorides and Galen, was handed down through centuries from one generation and one culture to another in an uninterrupted chain. The presentation will illustrate this unique phenomenon by following the legacy of Antiquity in its odyssey around the Mediterranean until the dawn of Modern Science. It will focus on exceptional and ordinary books now preserved in libraries worldwide that transmitted the ancient legacy, also adapting and reformulating it in a constant effort to better meet the differentiated daily needs of patients through time.
