Abstract:
This volume offers a comprehensible and well-balanced collection of current research on Simon and Clavis sanationis. It demonstrates the importance of the Clavis, not only for the history of pharmacology and medicine, but also for Byzantine and medieval studies, Roman, Greek, Latin and Arabic philology and lexicography.
