Green, Monica H., "The Antidotarium magnum - A Short Description (2019)".
- Resum
- This is a revised version of my description of the *Antidotarium magnum*, a collection of over 1000 medical recipes produced at Monte Cassino by (or under the direction of) the Tunisian immigrant monk, Constantine the African (d. before 1098/1099). This is the first Latin work of pharmaceutics to incorporate the new materia medica of the Islamicate world. Unlike Constantine's other works (which were all translations of Arabic texts into Latin), the *Antidotarium magnum* seems to be a genuine effort to integrate traditional recipes from the Greek and Latin ancient and late antique traditions, with the newer approached to pharmacy that Constantine brought to Italy from the other side of the Mediterranean. Included is a complete list of extant manuscripts, as well as bibliography of studies published to date. || Note: the version posted on 3 September 2019 had a couple of citation errors; this version of 16 September corrects them.
