Ce recueil contient les principaux ouvrages de l'oeuvre pharmaceutique de Johann Zwelfer (1618-1668, médecin, chimiste et pharmacien allemand). Il est notamment connu pour avoir corriger des erreurs dans la formulation des remèdes publiés dans la "Pharmacopoeia Augustana", qui correspond au "Code d'Augsbourg" (compilation de nombreux remèdes très communément utilisés par les médecins allemands), et qu'il publia dans son "Animadversiones in Pharmacopoeiam Augustanam". Il a connu une grande popularité, mais il fut aussi très déprécié par ses confrères allemands, comme Luc Schroeck.

This volume contains a collection of the most important pharmaceutical works of Johann Zwelfer (1618-1668, German physician, chemist and pharmacist). He is best known for correcting errors in the formulation of the remedies published in the "Pharmacopoeia Augustana", which corresponds to the "Augsburg Code" (a compilation of many remedies very commonly used by German physicians), and which he published in his "Animadversiones in Pharmacopoeiam Augustanam". He enjoyed great popularity, but was also much belittled by his German colleagues, such as Luc Schroeck.
His "Pharmacopoeia Regia" is an encyclopaedic pharmacopoeia.
