- Resum
- The Dynameron by Nikolaos Myrepsos is an extensive collection of prescriptions compiled during the late Byzantine period, probably in 1260. It is essentially a medico-pharmaceutical manual comprising about 3,000 prescriptions that record the pharmaceutical treatments for various diseases and ailments available at that time. The Greek text of the work has recently been made available in the form of a critical edition released in 2019 and reprinted in 2020. Until then, scholars knew the work either from the 16th century Latin translation by the Renaissance physician Leonhard Fuchs (1501–1566), from Greek manuscripts such as Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, graecus 2243, or Athens Εθνική Βιβλιοθήκη Ελλάδος 1478, or indirectly from prescriptions scattered in Western European pharmacopeia manuals. This edition opened a new era in the study of the work, allowing for text-based analyses. The present paper analyzes the decoctions, infusions, refreshing beverages, and other drinks and their medical applications in the Dynameron.
