Abstract	These papers explore the ways in which the 'long 12th century' (c. 1075-1250) witnessed the creation of a unified pharmaceutical 'empire', where the same elements of materia medica came to define the pharmaceutical uses of virtually the whole of Eurasia and North Africa. Session II explores how, through a series of textual productions and translations, Europe joined the empire.
