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.

Scarce first edition in french, translated from latin by Louis de Serres.
This work is considered as the bible of the apothecary (Dominique Kassel, La Pharmacie au Grand Siècle, p. 3).
Topics such as ethics and tooling tips are treated with a precision that has never been achieved.
That's why Renou's book, after having served as an ABC for several generations of pharmacists, has now become a valuable source of information for the history of pharmacy.
