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 III explores evolving empires of knowledge and practice. |
