Abstract
You go through the works produced in the Duchy around the tenth century
and later in the United Swabian, forerunners of the pharmacopoeia; doing a
survey on national developments in areas Neapolitan inferencing in the
centuries immediately following, you will come to a selection of key works
published in the United sixteenth to the nineteenth century, distinguishing
them by city of publication (Catania, Messina, Palermo, Naples) and mainly
used for describing and diachronic succession increasing detail the content
and features. Are then cited the works annoverabili as unofficial
pharmacopoeias, which we describe in detail the structure of the peculiarities
of the most important. Mention Finally, the major works produced in the
Neapolitan periods is pre-unitary and unitary Italian dwelling on their
contextualization in the national and deepening the context of the prevailing
socio-political and techniques such periods.

Chronology
Duchy of Naples (from 763 up to 1137); Duchy of Naples (until 1195: Norman);
Kingdom of Sicily (until 1266: Swabians), Kingdom of Naples (until 1442: Anjou,
Durazzo family), Kingdom of Naples (until 1646: Aragonese, Spanish); Neapolitan
Republic (until 1647), Kingdom of Naples (until 1713: Spanish); Kingdom of Naples
(until 1734: Austrians), Kingdom of Naples (until 1799); Republic Naples (1799),
Kingdom of Naples (until 1806), Kingdom of Naples (until 1815: French) Kingdom
of the Two Sicilies (up to 1860).
1. Introduction
Various ancient works could be considerable as a kind of forerunner Pharmacopoeia
of the Duchy of Naples, among them we will just mention the Antidotarium,
attributed to Donnolo (this mentions it at the end of Sēferha-Mirqāōt, § 20), but in
fact, it is an obvious interpolation aimed at integrating the remedies of the book with
those of the anonymous. Of Donnolo, Shabbĕtay Bar Abrāhām (913-ca1004),
however, a physician and man of science jew twelve kidnapped by the Saracens in
Capua, please note the Sēfer ha-Mirqạōt, by no means derivative or compilation,
and in fact, a original compendium of pharmacological experience gained by the
author in about forty years of practice. The book is rich in medicinal formulations for
remedies, potions, powders, plasters, ointments and clutches (the latter known as
‘Seplasia’, right from the famous square of the city of Capua, a flourishing market of
perfumes and ointments on the outskirts of Naples.
2. Antidotario Salerno
Nicolò Praepositus Salernitanus (authoritative man and responsibility in the
prestigious medical school of Salerno), physician-pharmacist operates at about 1140,
leaving the School and to future generations the final draft of Antidotarium: Treaty
concerning the medical, pharmaceutical and therapeutic, containing a collection of
139 recipes hospitaller daily practice with the adoption of weights and measures
based on all antidotaries and pharmacopoeias following (with a current range from
Pharmacopoeias from the Ducky of Naples to Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
10
gram to pound through the scruple, the drama, the ounce) and with the 'introduction
of new drugs, including anesthetic spongia soporific, henbane, and mandrake. This
text is considered the first collection of recipes of European medicine and for many
centuries has been the official source, to which they refer, for doctors and
pharmacists. Emperor Frederick II, in fact, raises the Antidotarium Nicolai official
pharmacopoeia in Europe: it is the first example of a kind of imposed by a
Pharmacopoeia. The work also inspires and influences a huge amount of various
herbaria, recipe books, abstracts and antidotaries that follow, until the early years of
the eighteenth century.
3. Subsequent evolution
In the following centuries the spread, facilitated by the introduction of printing,
forms, antidotaries, texts, treaties or summaries that describe the medicines and their
preparation makes it theoretically possible for any doctor or druggist prepare the
same medicine in practice, however, this often occurs in different ways, with
different methods and ingredients, precisely because of the frequent discrepancy
between the recipes. They feed well, confusion, fraud and adulteration, often
dangerous for the sick.
The recognition of official introduced in the domains with the florentine Ricettario
Fiorentino published 1498, well justifies its consideration as a prime example of
Pharmacopoeia, according to modern concepts, this text inspired by the
pharmacopoeias subsequently published in each city, and then, in the: fact , are first
cities to have an own Pharmacopoeia and, then, the regional states and, then,
proceeding in Europe, the movements of unification, the individual nations.
4. Pharmacopoeia of the United since the sixteenth century
From the sixteenth century and the “Ricettario fiorentino”, are available in the United
Neapolitan many works, including “Antidotario Catanese” in the middle of the
sixteenth century; “Petitorio Napolitano” in 1614; “Messina Pharmacopoeia” 1629;
“Napolitano Antidotario” of Almo Collegio apothecaries by Francesco Savi in 1642;
Raimondo Villano
11
“Napolitano Antidotario” by Joseph Donzelli, 1642; “Napolitano Antidotario” by
Francesco Greco di Mesagne of 1642; “Amussis Medicamentaria” by Andrea
Vetrano, written for the apothecaries of Palermo and published in 1655;
“Dispensatorio or Antidotario Catanese” in 1658; “Napolitano Petitorio” by Joseph
Donzelli of 1663; “Catanense dispensatorium” by Nicolò Catanuto of 1666; “Theatre
pharmaceutical dogmatic and spargirico” by Joseph Donzelli published in Naples in
1667; “Antidotarium Panormitanum Pharmacochymicum” in 1670 by Nicolò Gervasi
(in Palermo, however, are also used Pharmacopoeia Londoner and the French
Codex); “Pharmacopoeia for use by pharmacists, doctors and modern in Italy” by L.
V. Brugnatelli, published in Palermo in 1811; “Pharmaceutical Neapolitan
Cookbook” by Domenico Cotugno, published in Naples in 1811; “Cookbook
Pharmaceutical Napoletano”, 1823; “Napolitano Cookbook pharmaceutical price of
medicines”, published in Naples in 1855 by the General Protomedicato Kingdom.
5. Antidotario Catanese
You collect neatly fruitful results of a centuries-old love for the art of medicine and
society: in Catanatense Dispensatorium, sive Antidotarium, Ea continens
medicamenta, quae apud nostros Medicos usitatioria habentur Simplicia itidem quae
principalium vice, (si ea desiderantur) a cientia, ex industria recentans, A Nicolao
Catanuto Pharmacopola Catanense concinnatum, which we consider here the issue
Catanae, former Typographia Iosephi Bisagni, in Palatio illustrious Senatum, 1666.
It is a detailed and treated in the title is the reference to a substitute, who are a
constant primary Dispensatorium (despite the terms “si ea desiderantur”). The
structure of the Dispensatorium Catanuto resumed early experiences caused, for
example, the collection of Jerome Varii Secreti Brea (always Catania) printed in 1618
in Messina and work “Discourses panels which taught diligently to Disciples of Art,
Art of Spetiaria”, edited by Anthony de Francisci in Palermo in 1625.
The scheme of Dispensatorium, no index, classifies drugs, such as practice period,
not for therapeutic category but according to pharmaceutical forms; individual
Setiones are confidential, therefore, the various electuaries, ointments, plasters, etc..
Pharmacopoeias from the Ducky of Naples to Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
12
In detail, the Dispensatorium is structured as follows: Sectio Prima (De Electuaris
solidis, speciebus et Pulveribus (pp. 1-28); Sectio Secunda (De Electuaris mollibus,
29-126); Sectio Terzia (De Saccharis, seu Conservis 127-134); Sectio Quarta (De
Syrupis, Rob, Iulepis, Aquis et Decoctis 135-194); Sectio Quinta (De Pilulis,
Trochiscis, Sief et Suppositoriis 195-216); Sectio Sexta (De Unguentis, Ceratis et
Emplastris 217-262); Sectio Septima (De Oleis 263-287); Curiosis Tyronibus
Chimicam profiteri cupientibus 288-300).
Of particular interest appears the Appendix of Sectio Septima, in which there is a call
to the use of chemical remedies, although they are complex operations main art
Chemistry of time, ie the digestio, the putrefactio, the circulatio and fermentatio.
There are many requirements derived mainly from Mesue, Poter, Menander, but also
original recipes drawn from local practices, such as Pulvis to destillationem Francisci
Manfredi, Theriaca Andromaci the same Canuto prepared in 1663 by the bishop of
Catania Cardinal Astalli. In the Dispensatorium, in addition, reports are given
realistic conditions of the art pharmaceutical and health in Catania revealing
collusion, corruption and distortion health management, confirmed by an anonymous
“Report on the Observance of the Constitutions Protomedicali on the situation in
Palermo” in that time (this document in the funds of the Library Senatorial Palermo)
commissioned by the Viceroy around mid ‘600; come to the surface, in fact, many
“crafty creative” covered by omertose powerful factions aimed at unscrupulous gain
at the expense of the health of poor people “Many of those laid off for profit, even
theft, make medicines in their own way, take them and sell to the sick, with the
promise of healing, profit from money to patients and relatives, and credulous of the
fame of these so-called doctors approved by the upper found defrauded and the
patient becomes incurable or dead. (...) There is a lack of control inspections, and so
they have the freedom to sell what he pleases, and commit crimes with exorbitant
prices and compositions and medicaments, and not because they fear punishment and
bring rise in recette medicines and syrups to their way to get rid of adulterated
material that can be found in shops, changing several times the quality of medicines
ordered by physicians with great harm to poor sick (...) Remain in their shops the

simple and compound medicines aged, and without virtùanziché burn. But not having
fear, sell them with great harm to poor sick (...)”.
6. Antidotaries Messina
Among the antidotaries Messina are annoverabili: the folio of the bolognese Giovan
Battista Cortesi “Pharmacopoieia sive Antidotarium Messanense, in quo tum
simplicia tum composita medicamenta, usu recepta accurate examinantur”,
published in Messina at Typographia Petri Brex in 1629; the Antidotarium of
illustrious Pietro Paolo Pisano seven times in Messina chief physician and also
Director of the Hospital of Santa Maria della Pietà), published in 1643, very popular
and also printed by the famous printer Arriving in Venice.
In particular, it is significant the Pharmacopoieia sive Antidotarium Messanense
of Cortesi, which divides the interior into medicaments (spoilage, solvents and
invigorating) and external or local: the altering (liquids: syrups; solid-liquid:
electuaries; waters) are active to restore functions of the four humors, the electuaries
(or lattovari) are soothing or purgative (cathartic), and made in the form of
decoctions, infusions or bolus (pills without mineral components), purify the mood as
cholagoghi or flemmagoghi or melanogoghi. The Pharmacopeia of Cortesi, in fact,
often referring to Grabadin, the Antidotario of Mesue, but also to neoterici (such as,
for example, Falloppia, Valeriola, Mercuriale, Quercetano), tends to locate the virtues
(or forces) of remedies simplified able to restore the moods and often uses excerpts
from simple.
In the Index of authors in alphabetical order (by name but no last name!) include
many prominent figures, including: Andrea Mattioli, Andrea Vesalius, Arnaldo
Villanova, Avicenna, Democrate, Dioscorides, Gabriele Falloppio, Hippocrates,
Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia, Mesue, Giovanni Quercetano, Galen, Luca Ghini,

Scribonius, Theophrastus. Among the sources cited also include the Antidotario
Bonomiense, the Ricettario Fiorentino, Pharmacopoeia Augustana and “Lumen
Apothecariorum”.

5. Pharmacopoeias Palermitans
The “Pharmacopoeia Gervasi, Nicola Antidotarium Panormitanum Galen –
chymicum”, written by the Sicilian chemical Nicholas (or Nicholas) Gervasi (1632-
1681), published in Palermo Ex Typographia Petri de Isula in 1670, reprinted in
1700 and in 1743 (under the title Gervasio redivivus, seu Nicola Gervasii
Dispensatorium Panormitanum, Schelenz refers to Tyronum Pharmacopoearum
Antidotarium Panormitanum Galeno-spagyricum published in Palermo in the same
year as this work) is used as a guide by students.
The book contains many recipes sudddivise in 30 sections: De electuariis pretiosis
[et] confortativis; De medicinis opiatis et narcoticis; De confectionibus catharticis,
De conservis, et conditis; De Lohoch Diacodion solidum ex Zuulferio; De iulepiis et
syrupis; De decoctionibus et infusionibus; De trochiscis et Siel, De pulveribus, et
speciebus, et trageis, De catapotiis, seu pilulis, De elixiribus, De aquis destillatis, De
tincturis, De extractis, De quintis essentiis, De foeculis, De Floribus, et
sublimationibus Flores Martis, De magisteriis, De spiritibus, De crocis, De salibus,
De rotulis, De claretis, et Vinis medicatis; De acetis tam simplicibus, compositis
quam, De cataplasmatis, De miscellaneis chymicis, De balsamis, De unguentis, De
emplastris; De Oleis destillatis.
The work also contains descriptions of plants in Sicily (the Gervasi, among other
things, reorganized the Botanical Garden of Palermo modeled on those of Padua and
Bologna) and passages related to the medical properties of gemstones.
The “Pharmacopoeia for use by pharmacists and doctors of modern Italy. First
Edition Sicilian over the last Milan with many additions and increased synonyms of
names of chemical nomenclature French” by L. V. Brugnatelli evolution of the
Milanese, is published in Palermo for prints Solli in 1811 as a pantry for the
chemistry course at the University.

The work contains an overview of both classical medicine preparations and wide use
of both innovative formulations that require modern laboratory instrumentation. In
this regard, a section of the book is devoted to the description of the equipment for
both princhipali chemical operations (distillation, sublimation, melting, digestion,
filtration, decantation, crushing, separation of fine particles from coarse to
porfirizzazione, spraying and stacciamento) both procedures and instruments
pharmacy practice (tables of new techniques and innovative laboratory equipment).
In the discussion of the book, then, are ignored preparations considered
“extravagant” in the components and “ridiculous” in the names, they are deleted, and
then, for example, patches of the nail, the Marquis antipileptica dust, oil philosopher,
etc. .. For the formulations provided, however, the author reports observations and
provides jobs and a tariff with prices updated “discrete and reasonable”.
6. Antidotari and Petitori Neapolitans
In 1614 in Naples is published the Petitorio, a sort of Pharmacopoeia of the United
indicates that the list of medicines required but is grossly inadequate, and, moreover,
it is handwritten with at least two scribes a situation that, in practice, generates
frequent questions and uncertainties and favors often abuse, incidents and
controversies.
In 1640 the highest medical authorities of the United commission the Donzelli
(Naples, 1596-1670), Baron of Digliola, medical, physical and chemical, to compose
a Antidotario or Petitorio official site of unreliable edition of 1614: therefore, a
prescription pads recognized by law, smoothing methods, compositions and metric
systems, and which all must refer.
The Donzelli fulfills the commitment and in 1642 published the Antidotario
napolitano,
“Explained and illustrated by Dr. Joseph Donzelli Neapolitan Baron Digliola ...: for
that is what you must, must keep every druggist of this city, and kingdom in his own
pharmacy, and show the royal visits, which will be the chief physician : with two
additions, in a ... is it can be used in a well-ordered and in the pharmacy is proposing
a way to embalm the corpses of human bodies: and finally, there is a Sermon on the

dignity of the Royal General chief physician. And in this fifth edition expanded with
various drugs, not yet known in Italy ... and correct” [XXV-6-13], including: the
classic Dichiaraxioni of fees Mesue (Mesue the Elder, Yūhhannā ibn Māsawaih,
medical Syriac of the ninth century) in four chapters discussed and glossed by the
author, the list of medicines requirements and the recipes also accompanied by
various comments, explanations and suggestions Donzelli. The book is reprinted,
even in Naples in 1649 with the title of Antidotario Neapolitano correctly and in
1653. In 1663 the public a new Donzelli Petitorio napolitano, made the previous
year and reprinted in Naples in five editions until 1668, which not only contains some
new components shows the new trend of Donzelli: a pedagogical spirit seems to
animate his scientific . The work is not only to contain the recipe official wants to be
primarily a tool of instruction that introduces the scientific knowledge in the field of
pharmaceutical medical knowledge. It is, therefore, a popular work intended for a
broad audience as well as a preview of his masterpiece: The theater pharmaceutical
dogmatic and spagyric, work with a long gestation projects.
Petitorium in the edition of 1663, published in Naples for Type Novelli de Bonis, so
begins the introduction Donzelli: “I demand to introduce this volume, if not learned,
at least fond of, and that I serve as Alphabet Pharmaceuticals, for your introduction
to this profession with the help of this Opera arrive safely in the know with others
and maybe you do not imaginable quality (...)”. The work begins with a ‘Table’ in
alphabetical order of preparations and a “Petitorium Pharmacopoeorum reformatum
simplicia” always in alphabetical order. In the Proemio the next Donzelli shows that
in the past often “all matters serious and most mysterious men were from large, in
some profession, written with enigmatic terms, so that worthily have been kept as
secrets of the utmost importance and full of mysteries wonderful and beautiful” and,
therefore, should also follow this practice, more so in view of the fact that they are
the brainchild applied to much time to study. The author, however, is of a different
opinion, believing that having to adhere to the “debt of Christianity” of charity
towards the neighbor, and therefore declares to bind its own efforts to be as
understandable as possible for everyone.

This is followed by a discussion on the names of the Apothecary (3, lib. 19.c.16):
Pharmacopoeus to the Greeks “as composed medicines” and who sells them is given
the name of Pharmacopola, the Latins, however, is said Medicamentarius; some also
occur in improperly at the end Aromatariarus, because of aromatics that “handle”,
while it is appropriate for the grocers that the aromatic sell them; by Ulysses
Aldovrando the Speziale is defined Myrapola; by Galen, then , has used the term
Unguentarium (“Unguentarios Medicorum Ministros”) while in the seventeenth
century Apothecaries are also referred Odoramentarij: in this respect the author
points out that both terms are better attributable to perfumers. So also the greek word
of Pigmentarius best suited to define those who exercise the art of cosmetics. As for
the name Apothecary, finally, Donzelli considers it very improper being attributable
to anyone with a “shop” open to the public. The same applies to the corresponding
name of French Apothicaire or for the Spanish one of Boticario.
Followed by a definition of the Celsus Pharmaceuticals, “ars que docet
medicamenta seligendi, preparandi & miscendi” and an author on the
Pharmacopoeia which is “first and foremost they pietatis Studiosus, Divine Nominis
cultor”; deepens is, then, the form of the oath, earnings Hippocratic precepts and
Christians, on the obligations of Spetiale (“do not give poison, old stuff, or false, nor
love, hate, or gain”) and its essential qualities: “good-looking, clean, decorated with
decent clothes not pompous, it stimulates vanity will use fun, but not gall: and
especially should not be a player”. The Donzelli, again, focuses on the “dignity and
nobility of Speziale perfect” and emphasizes the separation of the professions of
doctor and Spetiale, the latter, in particular, stresses its inexperience in
Pharmaceutical unless “did not carry out practical for at least four years in a
Spetieria” (7. Lib.’s prep. of medicaments). It follows, then, that part of the
preparations, divided by topics under ‘Epittime different’ are, for example,
confortative for the heart and friendly, the stomatal and cold to the liver, various teas,
sachets and powders (including those starnutatoria or worms), plasters, suppositories,
poultices, etc.., the ‘Artificial or real’ are listed in alphabetical order. Following
tables “weights Neapolitan” and “checks of the ancients”, a chapter is devoted to the
‘choice of simple’ and medicaments of Petitorio, not in alphabetical order (including:
Pharmacopoeias from the Ducky of Naples to Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
26
Aloe succotrino et hepatic Mirabolani, Riobarbaro, Agaric, Turbit, Scamonio,
Tamarinds, Cassia, Aloe, Senna, Frankincense, Myrrh, Ammoniac, Of Gems and
Stones pretiose, etc..). Follow treatises on ‘Confections’ of: Friendly, Alchermes of
Mesue, Diambra of Mesue, Teriaca Andromaco, Cinnamon, Opobalsamo, Mitridato,
Diacatholicon Arnaldi, Diafenicon of Mesue, Electuary rosé Mesue, Hiera picra

Avicenna Fumoterra pills, Empiastro hot Gallia Mesue, Rosé Mesue ointment,
Ointment of gold Mesue oil, St. John’s Wort oil, Sweet almond oil, Nutmeg, etc..
In the next “Adding Dr. Joseph Donzelli to Petitorio Napoletano” (p. 205) the author
states that “for the first his intellect was surrounded by pulling forward the great
work of my theater” but turn to him numerous invitations to make the Precepts of
Pharmaceutical and recognizes the same author, that “this matter of Petitorio,
according to the order that I have proposed has reached a goal that can sufficiently
benefit the new Professors of Pharmaceutics, how they should be assigned to it
eagerly the application and imitate the study, that I have done for their benefit”. The
Donzelli also about art apothecary states that “in any profession must strive to make
the man more than perfect in the art of Pharmacy (...) Everything that followed here,
is a matter for the Council, and the compliance that adds to the name of Spetiale
perfect” (p.206). Then, starting with non-alphabetic, a number of preparations
(including: Pack of Cinnammomo Mesue, Tiphera magna Nicolai, Opiate laudanum,
Laxative blessed by Nicolo Salerno. Syrup Sandalwood citrine, Giulebbo large gems
of the King, syrup of ivy Earth, syrup of poppies Donzelli, syrup Altea Farneli,

Rue, Wormwood Oil, etc.). proceedings in which herbs are often added Comment
with references and notes about the opinions expressed by the College of Spetiali of
Naples (pp. 207-276).
There is, then, a “Second Added to Petitorio” dedicated embalming of corpses, where
Donzelli pressed that this operation has a certain repugnance with the feeling of the
Holy Church warns that “memento homo, quia cinis es, & in cinerem reverteris”
which, however, the author adds that “time eater of everything, but no has yet been
able to abolish this custom ancient” (pp. 277-318).
The next chapter is devoted to the “Sermon on the dignity of the chief physician
restricted” (pp. 319-ff.), where Donzelli invited to pay their respects and comply with
the health authorities in charge of virtuous highlighting the merits.
The work ends with an “Amendment to the Errors of the Press”.
Another official work in the Kingdom of Naples is the Antidotario Napolitano
“again reformed and corrected dall'almo College de 'Apothecaries ... where they
contain all the recipes of medicines ... that must necessarily hold all the apothecaries
of this City and the United faithful ... “, published in 1642 by the “Magnificent
doctor” Francis Greek Mesagne. This work, recently discovered (just 4 years) at the
National Central Library of Rome, which is a real treatise of spices and recipe book
that describes in detail the preparation of drugs. Moreover, numerous recipes drawn
from the Greek are also accompanied by a review of the same famous medical
apothecary Donzelli and the work is being carried out as a result of 'task to update
and re-publish an edition of Petitorio 1609. Of Franciscum Graecum Messapiensem
currently nothing is known, except that it is very influential person, because of the 8
members of the Board of Naples Spetiali entrusted him with the preparation of a
antidotario official of the Kingdom.
7. Non official pharmacopoeias
All these official pharmacopoeia is accompanied by a large number of
pharmaceutical texts, written by scholars private real pharmacopoeias unofficial,
often interesting or even important works, among which are to be counted:
Pharmacopoeias from the Ducky of Naples to Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
28
Raimondo Villano
29
Antidotarium di Phoenicis Petrus Paulus, volume with a nice cover completely
engraved in copper, “in quo describuntur omnia composita medicamenta, quae in
petitorio aromatariorum continentur” (Neapoli, apud Octavium Beltranum; Neapoli
apud Pharmacapolium D. Mariae Pietatis, 1631. Pp. 16- 97-7);
Tariffae rerum aromaticarum (Neapoli, apud Octavium Beltranum, 1632. Pp.16);
Ricette e rimedi, paper manuscripts of seventeenth-century hand (different
spellings), written in the vernacular, for a total of 16 sheets, with treatment of: cancer
of the spleen, “remedy against the tarantula”, cinchona bark from Peru, remedies
kidney stones, “recipe gutta gumma”, “oil Bernardo Pica” remedy for blisters, cure
for ringworm, “consult written by a doctor in Rome ... retention of urine”, “cure for
cancer from Father F. cherub of Eboli Provincial P. P. Capuchin”;
Teatro farmaceutico dogmatico e spargirico, perhaps already completed in 1663
but published in Naples from 1667 to 1763, is the most important scientific work of
Joseph Donzelli, a tool for study and dissemination of science in ever-widening
circles: a large Treaty contains a lot of recipes, chemical processing, pharmaceutical,
botanical observations, pharmacological and herbal. The work is published in Latin
by a spread abroad, is reprinted in Rome in 1677 with the additions of the author's
son, Thomas, and has numerous editions: twenty-two only in the city of Rome,
Naples and Venice until 1763. In some respects, also, can be traced in a nutshell
work developments and probabilistic gassendiani which will have a significant role in
the culture of the second half of the century, the sharp criticism of the traditional
medicine does not refuse to block all the old teachings but attacks from positions
skeptical defense bigoted and conservative traditionalism with a vengeance, so do not
reject all traditional content but it essentially rejects dogmatism ruling on the ground
that medicine and chemistry are not based on absolutes and that the only compass for
the student and the method empirical.
The Donzelli, also distinguishes between chemistry and alchemy, critical authors
who use “terms very darks” and also in the linguistic choices manifests this
commitment justifying the “lowliness of style and language” and proclaiming himself
an advocate of the use of “native language” than any other scholarly language (in
Theatre: address “scholars readers”).

30
Raimondo Villano
31
At the same time Donzelli resumes vigorously polemic against the traditionalists and
conservatives, defenders of Aristotle and Galen, which launches vehement
accusations.
His scientific thought is connected on the one hand to the naturalistic tradition
Renaissance (recognizes, in fact, Paracelsus among his teachers mutuandone the
principle of “archeus”), but it is clear in this as in his other works breaking with
every conception and hermetic initiation of science.
The Donzelli belongs to a generation of scholars and Southern intellectuals who, in
accepting and pondering the
lesson of Galileo and Bacon and meshing on earlier traditions, lay the foundations for
growth and openness to Europe of the Neapolitan culture in the second half of the
seventeenth century .
His commitment to a new science in favor of experimental transcends the merely
technical, scientific and engages the broader debate in favor of experimentation and
innovation that permeates deeply all the new currents of thought in the Kingdom of
Naples.
8. Nineteenth century and pre-unification
In 1811 was released the “Ricettario pharmaceutical napolitano, ie, List of simple
and compound remedies that ought to be obbligativamente We provide each
pharmacy in the Kingdom of Naples ... Legal and pricing of prices of medicines” by
Domenico Cotugno, published at the expense of the Congregation of pharmacists
under the title of Ss Pellegrino and Emiliano in the printing of the Monitors of the
Two Sicilies (p. 102).
Another “Ricettario pharmaceutical napolitano” was published in 1823.
In 1845, following approval under the auspices of the Commission Protomedicale, is
published in Naples by the Minister of State for Internal Affairs “Code
Pharmaceutical Neapolitain”, compiled by the College of Pharmacy Dean
Napolitano presided over by Mr. Gaetano Angioni.
The Italian territory in the second half of the nineteenth century, is still divided into
several states, including the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
Pharmacopoeias from the Ducky of Naples to Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
32
To the unification and the birth of the Kingdom of Italy, each State has its own
Pharmacopoeia valid in its territory: some official, that is ordered by the authorities
and recognized by the rulers or governors, other private but are recommended by the
Authority or from local Universities.
In 1855 was published in Naples in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies from
Protomedicato General at Typography Agrelli the “Ricettario pharmaceutical
napolitano with price of medicines under the auspices of the protomedicale
Committee presided by knight Franco Rosati” (p. 84).
9. Unitary period
In pre-unified Italy in the administrative heterogeneity makes it difficult for
pharmacists applying weights and measures, each State having its own, so be
released at various tables of comparison, such as Comparison tables of between
metric weights and weights medicines in use in the provinces of Lombardy from
1862, and it seems difficult even to decipher and shipping of recipes because of the
different official names and dialects of drugs and, consequently, there are
numerous Dictionaries Synonymy refers to drugs.
Since 1861, the year of birth of the Kingdom of Italy, until 1892, the role of the
Official Pharmacopoeia is exercised by the Sardinian States Pharmacopoeia for
1861 to 1870 and subsequently, until 1892, the Code of Pharmaceutical Roman
edition 1868, ordered and approved by His Holiness Pope Pius IX, which is official
in the territories of the Papal States, and is much more comprehensive and
scientifically rigorous than others.
Besides these two, there are many other Pharmacopoeias in Italian territory until the
publication of the first edition of the Official Pharmacopoeia of the Kingdom of Italy
in 1892, one of the most important is its Pharmaceutical Code Neapolitan compiled
by the College of Pharmacy Neapolitan chaired by Dean Gaetano Angioni and
published in Naples upon approval, under the auspices of the Commission
Protomedicale by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in 1845.

  • 4. Raimondo Villano 7 PHARMACOPOEIAS FROM THE DUCKY OF NAPLES TO KINGDOM OF THE TWO SICILIES Raimondo Villano Study Group Pharmacopoeias International Society for the History of Pharmacy ISHP (Berna, Switzerland) Director: Prof. Dr. François Ledermann (President Em. ISHP) Keywords: Pharmacopoeias - Naples - Kingdom. Abstract You go through the works produced in the Duchy around the tenth century and later in the United Swabian, forerunners of the pharmacopoeia; doing a survey on national developments in areas Neapolitan inferencing in the centuries immediately following, you will come to a selection of key works published in the United sixteenth to the nineteenth century, distinguishing them by city of publication (Catania, Messina, Palermo, Naples) and mainly used for describing and diachronic succession increasing detail the content and features. Are then cited the works annoverabili as unofficial pharmacopoeias, which we describe in detail the structure of the peculiarities of the most important. Mention Finally, the major works produced in the Neapolitan periods is pre-unitary and unitary Italian dwelling on their contextualization in the national and deepening the context of the prevailing socio-political and techniques such periods.
  • 5. Raimondo Villano 9 Chronology Duchy of Naples (from 763 up to 1137); Duchy of Naples (until 1195: Norman); Kingdom of Sicily (until 1266: Swabians), Kingdom of Naples (until 1442: Anjou, Durazzo family), Kingdom of Naples (until 1646: Aragonese, Spanish); Neapolitan Republic (until 1647), Kingdom of Naples (until 1713: Spanish); Kingdom of Naples (until 1734: Austrians), Kingdom of Naples (until 1799); Republic Naples (1799), Kingdom of Naples (until 1806), Kingdom of Naples (until 1815: French) Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (up to 1860). 1. Introduction Various ancient works could be considerable as a kind of forerunner Pharmacopoeia of the Duchy of Naples, among them we will just mention the Antidotarium, attributed to Donnolo (this mentions it at the end of Sēferha-Mirqāōt, § 20), but in fact, it is an obvious interpolation aimed at integrating the remedies of the book with those of the anonymous. Of Donnolo, Shabbĕtay Bar Abrāhām (913-ca1004), however, a physician and man of science jew twelve kidnapped by the Saracens in Capua, please note the Sēfer ha-Mirqạōt, by no means derivative or compilation, and in fact, a original compendium of pharmacological experience gained by the author in about forty years of practice. The book is rich in medicinal formulations for remedies, potions, powders, plasters, ointments and clutches (the latter known as ‘Seplasia’, right from the famous square of the city of Capua, a flourishing market of perfumes and ointments on the outskirts of Naples. 2. Antidotario Salerno Nicolò Praepositus Salernitanus (authoritative man and responsibility in the prestigious medical school of Salerno), physician-pharmacist operates at about 1140, leaving the School and to future generations the final draft of Antidotarium: Treaty concerning the medical, pharmaceutical and therapeutic, containing a collection of 139 recipes hospitaller daily practice with the adoption of weights and measures based on all antidotaries and pharmacopoeias following (with a current range from
  • 6. Pharmacopoeias from the Ducky of Naples to Kingdom of the Two Sicilies 10 gram to pound through the scruple, the drama, the ounce) and with the 'introduction of new drugs, including anesthetic spongia soporific, henbane, and mandrake. This text is considered the first collection of recipes of European medicine and for many centuries has been the official source, to which they refer, for doctors and pharmacists. Emperor Frederick II, in fact, raises the Antidotarium Nicolai official pharmacopoeia in Europe: it is the first example of a kind of imposed by a Pharmacopoeia. The work also inspires and influences a huge amount of various herbaria, recipe books, abstracts and antidotaries that follow, until the early years of the eighteenth century. 3. Subsequent evolution In the following centuries the spread, facilitated by the introduction of printing, forms, antidotaries, texts, treaties or summaries that describe the medicines and their preparation makes it theoretically possible for any doctor or druggist prepare the same medicine in practice, however, this often occurs in different ways, with different methods and ingredients, precisely because of the frequent discrepancy between the recipes. They feed well, confusion, fraud and adulteration, often dangerous for the sick. The recognition of official introduced in the domains with the florentine Ricettario Fiorentino published 1498, well justifies its consideration as a prime example of Pharmacopoeia, according to modern concepts, this text inspired by the pharmacopoeias subsequently published in each city, and then, in the: fact , are first cities to have an own Pharmacopoeia and, then, the regional states and, then, proceeding in Europe, the movements of unification, the individual nations. 4. Pharmacopoeia of the United since the sixteenth century From the sixteenth century and the “Ricettario fiorentino”, are available in the United Neapolitan many works, including “Antidotario Catanese” in the middle of the sixteenth century; “Petitorio Napolitano” in 1614; “Messina Pharmacopoeia” 1629; “Napolitano Antidotario” of Almo Collegio apothecaries by Francesco Savi in 1642;
  • 7. Raimondo Villano 11 “Napolitano Antidotario” by Joseph Donzelli, 1642; “Napolitano Antidotario” by Francesco Greco di Mesagne of 1642; “Amussis Medicamentaria” by Andrea Vetrano, written for the apothecaries of Palermo and published in 1655; “Dispensatorio or Antidotario Catanese” in 1658; “Napolitano Petitorio” by Joseph Donzelli of 1663; “Catanense dispensatorium” by Nicolò Catanuto of 1666; “Theatre pharmaceutical dogmatic and spargirico” by Joseph Donzelli published in Naples in 1667; “Antidotarium Panormitanum Pharmacochymicum” in 1670 by Nicolò Gervasi (in Palermo, however, are also used Pharmacopoeia Londoner and the French Codex); “Pharmacopoeia for use by pharmacists, doctors and modern in Italy” by L. V. Brugnatelli, published in Palermo in 1811; “Pharmaceutical Neapolitan Cookbook” by Domenico Cotugno, published in Naples in 1811; “Cookbook Pharmaceutical Napoletano”, 1823; “Napolitano Cookbook pharmaceutical price of medicines”, published in Naples in 1855 by the General Protomedicato Kingdom. 5. Antidotario Catanese You collect neatly fruitful results of a centuries-old love for the art of medicine and society: in Catanatense Dispensatorium, sive Antidotarium, Ea continens medicamenta, quae apud nostros Medicos usitatioria habentur Simplicia itidem quae principalium vice, (si ea desiderantur) a cientia, ex industria recentans, A Nicolao Catanuto Pharmacopola Catanense concinnatum, which we consider here the issue Catanae, former Typographia Iosephi Bisagni, in Palatio illustrious Senatum, 1666. It is a detailed and treated in the title is the reference to a substitute, who are a constant primary Dispensatorium (despite the terms “si ea desiderantur”). The structure of the Dispensatorium Catanuto resumed early experiences caused, for example, the collection of Jerome Varii Secreti Brea (always Catania) printed in 1618 in Messina and work “Discourses panels which taught diligently to Disciples of Art, Art of Spetiaria”, edited by Anthony de Francisci in Palermo in 1625. The scheme of Dispensatorium, no index, classifies drugs, such as practice period, not for therapeutic category but according to pharmaceutical forms; individual Setiones are confidential, therefore, the various electuaries, ointments, plasters, etc..
  • 8. Pharmacopoeias from the Ducky of Naples to Kingdom of the Two Sicilies 12 In detail, the Dispensatorium is structured as follows: Sectio Prima (De Electuaris solidis, speciebus et Pulveribus (pp. 1-28); Sectio Secunda (De Electuaris mollibus, 29-126); Sectio Terzia (De Saccharis, seu Conservis 127-134); Sectio Quarta (De Syrupis, Rob, Iulepis, Aquis et Decoctis 135-194); Sectio Quinta (De Pilulis, Trochiscis, Sief et Suppositoriis 195-216); Sectio Sexta (De Unguentis, Ceratis et Emplastris 217-262); Sectio Septima (De Oleis 263-287); Curiosis Tyronibus Chimicam profiteri cupientibus 288-300). Of particular interest appears the Appendix of Sectio Septima, in which there is a call to the use of chemical remedies, although they are complex operations main art Chemistry of time, ie the digestio, the putrefactio, the circulatio and fermentatio. There are many requirements derived mainly from Mesue, Poter, Menander, but also original recipes drawn from local practices, such as Pulvis to destillationem Francisci Manfredi, Theriaca Andromaci the same Canuto prepared in 1663 by the bishop of Catania Cardinal Astalli. In the Dispensatorium, in addition, reports are given realistic conditions of the art pharmaceutical and health in Catania revealing collusion, corruption and distortion health management, confirmed by an anonymous “Report on the Observance of the Constitutions Protomedicali on the situation in Palermo” in that time (this document in the funds of the Library Senatorial Palermo) commissioned by the Viceroy around mid ‘600; come to the surface, in fact, many “crafty creative” covered by omertose powerful factions aimed at unscrupulous gain at the expense of the health of poor people “Many of those laid off for profit, even theft, make medicines in their own way, take them and sell to the sick, with the promise of healing, profit from money to patients and relatives, and credulous of the fame of these so-called doctors approved by the upper found defrauded and the patient becomes incurable or dead. (...) There is a lack of control inspections, and so they have the freedom to sell what he pleases, and commit crimes with exorbitant prices and compositions and medicaments, and not because they fear punishment and bring rise in recette medicines and syrups to their way to get rid of adulterated material that can be found in shops, changing several times the quality of medicines ordered by physicians with great harm to poor sick (...) Remain in their shops the
  • 9. Raimondo Villano 13 simple and compound medicines aged, and without virtùanziché burn. But not having fear, sell them with great harm to poor sick (...)”. 6. Antidotaries Messina Among the antidotaries Messina are annoverabili: the folio of the bolognese Giovan Battista Cortesi “Pharmacopoieia sive Antidotarium Messanense, in quo tum simplicia tum composita medicamenta, usu recepta accurate examinantur”, published in Messina at Typographia Petri Brex in 1629; the Antidotarium of illustrious Pietro Paolo Pisano seven times in Messina chief physician and also Director of the Hospital of Santa Maria della Pietà), published in 1643, very popular and also printed by the famous printer Arriving in Venice. In particular, it is significant the Pharmacopoieia sive Antidotarium Messanense of Cortesi, which divides the interior into medicaments (spoilage, solvents and invigorating) and external or local: the altering (liquids: syrups; solid-liquid: electuaries; waters) are active to restore functions of the four humors, the electuaries (or lattovari) are soothing or purgative (cathartic), and made in the form of decoctions, infusions or bolus (pills without mineral components), purify the mood as cholagoghi or flemmagoghi or melanogoghi. The Pharmacopeia of Cortesi, in fact, often referring to Grabadin, the Antidotario of Mesue, but also to neoterici (such as, for example, Falloppia, Valeriola, Mercuriale, Quercetano), tends to locate the virtues (or forces) of remedies simplified able to restore the moods and often uses excerpts from simple. In the Index of authors in alphabetical order (by name but no last name!) include many prominent figures, including: Andrea Mattioli, Andrea Vesalius, Arnaldo Villanova, Avicenna, Democrate, Dioscorides, Gabriele Falloppio, Hippocrates, Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia, Mesue, Giovanni Quercetano, Galen, Luca Ghini, Nicholas Salerno, Nicholas Mirepso, Nicholas Alexandria, Niccolò Salernitano, Scribonius, Theophrastus. Among the sources cited also include the Antidotario Bonomiense, the Ricettario Fiorentino, Pharmacopoeia Augustana and “Lumen Apothecariorum”.

In the discussion of the book, then, are ignored preparations considered “extravagant” in the components and “ridiculous” in the names, they are deleted, and then, for example, patches of the nail, the Marquis antipileptica dust, oil philosopher, etc. .. For the formulations provided, however, the author reports observations and provides jobs and a tariff with prices updated “discrete and reasonable”. 6. Antidotari and Petitori Neapolitans In 1614 in Naples is published the Petitorio, a sort of Pharmacopoeia of the United indicates that the list of medicines required but is grossly inadequate, and, moreover, it is handwritten with at least two scribes a situation that, in practice, generates frequent questions and uncertainties and favors often abuse, incidents and controversies. In 1640 the highest medical authorities of the United commission the Donzelli (Naples, 1596-1670), Baron of Digliola, medical, physical and chemical, to compose a Antidotario or Petitorio official site of unreliable edition of 1614: therefore, a prescription pads recognized by law, smoothing methods, compositions and metric systems, and which all must refer. The Donzelli fulfills the commitment and in 1642 published the Antidotario napolitano, “Explained and illustrated by Dr. Joseph Donzelli Neapolitan Baron Digliola ...: for that is what you must, must keep every druggist of this city, and kingdom in his own pharmacy, and show the royal visits, which will be the chief physician : with two additions, in a ... is it can be used in a well-ordered and in the pharmacy is proposing a way to embalm the corpses of human bodies: and finally, there is a Sermon on the

The book is reprinted, even in Naples in 1649 with the title of Antidotario Neapolitano correctly and in 1653. In 1663 the public a new Donzelli Petitorio napolitano, made the previous year and reprinted in Naples in five editions until 1668, which not only contains some new components shows the new trend of Donzelli: a pedagogical spirit seems to animate his scientific . The work is not only to contain the recipe official wants to be primarily a tool of instruction that introduces the scientific knowledge in the field of pharmaceutical medical knowledge. It is, therefore, a popular work intended for a broad audience as well as a preview of his masterpiece: The theater pharmaceutical dogmatic and spagyric, work with a long gestation projects. Petitorium in the edition of 1663, published in Naples for Type Novelli de Bonis, so begins the introduction Donzelli: “I demand to introduce this volume, if not learned, at least fond of, and that I serve as Alphabet Pharmaceuticals, for your introduction to this profession with the help of this Opera arrive safely in the know with others and maybe you do not imaginable quality (...)”. The work begins with a ‘Table’ in alphabetical order of preparations and a “Petitorium Pharmacopoeorum reformatum simplicia” always in alphabetical order. In the Proemio the next Donzelli shows that in the past often “all matters serious and most mysterious men were from large, in some profession, written with enigmatic terms, so that worthily have been kept as secrets of the utmost importance and full of mysteries wonderful and beautiful” and, therefore, should also follow this practice, more so in view of the fact that they are the brainchild applied to much time to study. The author, however, is of a different opinion, believing that having to adhere to the “debt of Christianity” of charity towards the neighbor, and therefore declares to bind its own efforts to be as understandable as possible for everyone.

  • 21. Raimondo Villano 25 This is followed by a discussion on the names of the Apothecary (3, lib. 19.c.16): Pharmacopoeus to the Greeks “as composed medicines” and who sells them is given the name of Pharmacopola, the Latins, however, is said Medicamentarius; some also occur in improperly at the end Aromatariarus, because of aromatics that “handle”, while it is appropriate for the grocers that the aromatic sell them; by Ulysses Aldovrando the Speziale is defined Myrapola; by Galen, then , has used the term Unguentarium (“Unguentarios Medicorum Ministros”) while in the seventeenth century Apothecaries are also referred Odoramentarij: in this respect the author points out that both terms are better attributable to perfumers. So also the greek word of Pigmentarius best suited to define those who exercise the art of cosmetics. As for the name Apothecary, finally, Donzelli considers it very improper being attributable to anyone with a “shop” open to the public. The same applies to the corresponding name of French Apothicaire or for the Spanish one of Boticario. Followed by a definition of the Celsus Pharmaceuticals, “ars que docet medicamenta seligendi, preparandi & miscendi” and an author on the Pharmacopoeia which is “first and foremost they pietatis Studiosus, Divine Nominis cultor”; deepens is, then, the form of the oath, earnings Hippocratic precepts and Christians, on the obligations of Spetiale (“do not give poison, old stuff, or false, nor love, hate, or gain”) and its essential qualities: “good-looking, clean, decorated with decent clothes not pompous, it stimulates vanity will use fun, but not gall: and especially should not be a player”. The Donzelli, again, focuses on the “dignity and nobility of Speziale perfect” and emphasizes the separation of the professions of doctor and Spetiale, the latter, in particular, stresses its inexperience in Pharmaceutical unless “did not carry out practical for at least four years in a Spetieria” (7. Lib.’s prep. of medicaments). It follows, then, that part of the preparations, divided by topics under ‘Epittime different’ are, for example, confortative for the heart and friendly, the stomatal and cold to the liver, various teas, sachets and powders (including those starnutatoria or worms), plasters, suppositories, poultices, etc.., the ‘Artificial or real’ are listed in alphabetical order. Following tables “weights Neapolitan” and “checks of the ancients”, a chapter is devoted to the ‘choice of simple’ and medicaments of Petitorio, not in alphabetical order (including:

Follow treatises on ‘Confections’ of: Friendly, Alchermes of Mesue, Diambra of Mesue, Teriaca Andromaco, Cinnamon, Opobalsamo, Mitridato, Diacatholicon Arnaldi, Diafenicon of Mesue, Electuary rosé Mesue, Hiera picra Galen Extract, Cassia enemas, Loch Mesue, Preserved Rose shutters, Infused with Rose Syrup, Chicory Syrup, Syrup Cranberry juice, Syrup Capel Venus, Mel Rose solution, Aggregation Pills, Pills Agaric of Mesue, De Tribus of Pills Galen, Avicenna Fumoterra pills, Empiastro hot Gallia Mesue, Rosé Mesue ointment, Ointment of gold Mesue oil, St. John’s Wort oil, Sweet almond oil, Nutmeg, etc.. In the next “Adding Dr. Joseph Donzelli to Petitorio Napoletano” (p. 205) the author states that “for the first his intellect was surrounded by pulling forward the great work of my theater” but turn to him numerous invitations to make the Precepts of Pharmaceutical and recognizes the same author, that “this matter of Petitorio, according to the order that I have proposed has reached a goal that can sufficiently benefit the new Professors of Pharmaceutics, how they should be assigned to it eagerly the application and imitate the study, that I have done for their benefit”. The Donzelli also about art apothecary states that “in any profession must strive to make the man more than perfect in the art of Pharmacy (...) Everything that followed here, is a matter for the Council, and the compliance that adds to the name of Spetiale perfect” (p.206). Then, starting with non-alphabetic, a number of preparations (including: Pack of Cinnammomo Mesue, Tiphera magna Nicolai, Opiate laudanum, Laxative blessed by Nicolo Salerno.

There is, then, a “Second Added to Petitorio” dedicated embalming of corpses, where Donzelli pressed that this operation has a certain repugnance with the feeling of the Holy Church warns that “memento homo, quia cinis es, & in cinerem reverteris” which, however, the author adds that “time eater of everything, but no has yet been able to abolish this custom ancient” (pp. 277-318). The next chapter is devoted to the “Sermon on the dignity of the chief physician restricted” (pp. 319-ff.), where Donzelli invited to pay their respects and comply with the health authorities in charge of virtuous highlighting the merits. The work ends with an “Amendment to the Errors of the Press”. Another official work in the Kingdom of Naples is the Antidotario Napolitano “again reformed and corrected dall'almo College de 'Apothecaries ... where they contain all the recipes of medicines ... that must necessarily hold all the apothecaries of this City and the United faithful ... “, published in 1642 by the “Magnificent doctor” Francis Greek Mesagne. This work, recently discovered (just 4 years) at the National Central Library of Rome, which is a real treatise of spices and recipe book that describes in detail the preparation of drugs. Moreover, numerous recipes drawn from the Greek are also accompanied by a review of the same famous medical apothecary Donzelli and the work is being carried out as a result of 'task to update and re-publish an edition of Petitorio 1609. Of Franciscum Graecum Messapiensem currently nothing is known, except that it is very influential person, because of the 8 members of the Board of Naples Spetiali entrusted him with the preparation of a antidotario official of the Kingdom. 7. Non official pharmacopoeias All these official pharmacopoeia is accompanied by a large number of pharmaceutical texts, written by scholars private real pharmacopoeias unofficial, often interesting or even important works, among which are to be counted:
  • 24. Pharmacopoeias from the Ducky of Naples to Kingdom of the Two Sicilies 28
  • 25. Raimondo Villano 29 Antidotarium di Phoenicis Petrus Paulus, volume with a nice cover completely engraved in copper, “in quo describuntur omnia composita medicamenta, quae in petitorio aromatariorum continentur” (Neapoli, apud Octavium Beltranum; Neapoli apud Pharmacapolium D. Mariae Pietatis, 1631. Pp. 16- 97-7); Tariffae rerum aromaticarum (Neapoli, apud Octavium Beltranum, 1632. Pp.16); Ricette e rimedi, paper manuscripts of seventeenth-century hand (different spellings), written in the vernacular, for a total of 16 sheets, with treatment of: cancer of the spleen, “remedy against the tarantula”, cinchona bark from Peru, remedies kidney stones, “recipe gutta gumma”, “oil Bernardo Pica” remedy for blisters, cure for ringworm, “consult written by a doctor in Rome ... retention of urine”, “cure for cancer from Father F. cherub of Eboli Provincial P. P. Capuchin”; Teatro farmaceutico dogmatico e spargirico, perhaps already completed in 1663 but published in Naples from 1667 to 1763, is the most important scientific work of Joseph Donzelli, a tool for study and dissemination of science in ever-widening circles: a large Treaty contains a lot of recipes, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, botanical observations, pharmacological and herbal. The work is published in Latin by a spread abroad, is reprinted in Rome in 1677 with the additions of the author's son, Thomas, and has numerous editions: twenty-two only in the city of Rome, Naples and Venice until 1763. In some respects, also, can be traced in a nutshell work developments and probabilistic gassendiani which will have a significant role in the culture of the second half of the century, the sharp criticism of the traditional medicine does not refuse to block all the old teachings but attacks from positions skeptical defense bigoted and conservative traditionalism with a vengeance, so do not reject all traditional content but it essentially rejects dogmatism ruling on the ground that medicine and chemistry are not based on absolutes and that the only compass for the student and the method empirical. The Donzelli, also distinguishes between chemistry and alchemy, critical authors who use “terms very darks” and also in the linguistic choices manifests this commitment justifying the “lowliness of style and language” and proclaiming himself an advocate of the use of “native language” than any other scholarly language (in Theatre: address “scholars readers”).

  • 27. Raimondo Villano 31 At the same time Donzelli resumes vigorously polemic against the traditionalists and conservatives, defenders of Aristotle and Galen, which launches vehement accusations. His scientific thought is connected on the one hand to the naturalistic tradition Renaissance (recognizes, in fact, Paracelsus among his teachers mutuandone the principle of “archeus”), but it is clear in this as in his other works breaking with every conception and hermetic initiation of science. The Donzelli belongs to a generation of scholars and Southern intellectuals who, in accepting and pondering the lesson of Galileo and Bacon and meshing on earlier traditions, lay the foundations for growth and openness to Europe of the Neapolitan culture in the second half of the seventeenth century . His commitment to a new science in favor of experimental transcends the merely technical, scientific and engages the broader debate in favor of experimentation and innovation that permeates deeply all the new currents of thought in the Kingdom of Naples. 8. Nineteenth century and pre-unification In 1811 was released the “Ricettario pharmaceutical napolitano, ie, List of simple and compound remedies that ought to be obbligativamente We provide each pharmacy in the Kingdom of Naples ... Legal and pricing of prices of medicines” by Domenico Cotugno, published at the expense of the Congregation of pharmacists under the title of Ss Pellegrino and Emiliano in the printing of the Monitors of the Two Sicilies (p. 102). Another “Ricettario pharmaceutical napolitano” was published in 1823. In 1845, following approval under the auspices of the Commission Protomedicale, is published in Naples by the Minister of State for Internal Affairs “Code Pharmaceutical Neapolitain”, compiled by the College of Pharmacy Dean Napolitano presided over by Mr. Gaetano Angioni. The Italian territory in the second half of the nineteenth century, is still divided into several states, including the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
  • 28. Pharmacopoeias from the Ducky of Naples to Kingdom of the Two Sicilies 32 To the unification and the birth of the Kingdom of Italy, each State has its own Pharmacopoeia valid in its territory: some official, that is ordered by the authorities and recognized by the rulers or governors, other private but are recommended by the Authority or from local Universities. In 1855 was published in Naples in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies from Protomedicato General at Typography Agrelli the “Ricettario pharmaceutical napolitano with price of medicines under the auspices of the protomedicale Committee presided by knight Franco Rosati” (p. 84). 9. Unitary period In pre-unified Italy in the administrative heterogeneity makes it difficult for pharmacists applying weights and measures, each State having its own, so be released at various tables of comparison, such as Comparison tables of between metric weights and weights medicines in use in the provinces of Lombardy from 1862, and it seems difficult even to decipher and shipping of recipes because of the different official names and dialects of drugs and, consequently, there are numerous Dictionaries Synonymy refers to drugs. Since 1861, the year of birth of the Kingdom of Italy, until 1892, the role of the Official Pharmacopoeia is exercised by the Sardinian States Pharmacopoeia for 1861 to 1870 and subsequently, until 1892, the Code of Pharmaceutical Roman edition 1868, ordered and approved by His Holiness Pope Pius IX, which is official in the territories of the Papal States, and is much more comprehensive and scientifically rigorous than others. Besides these two, there are many other Pharmacopoeias in Italian territory until the publication of the first edition of the Official Pharmacopoeia of the Kingdom of Italy in 1892, one of the most important is its Pharmaceutical Code Neapolitan compiled by the College of Pharmacy Neapolitan chaired by Dean Gaetano Angioni and published in Naples upon approval, under the auspices of the Commission Protomedicale by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in 1845.
