Werner Sackmann

Arzneistoffe in tiermedizinischen Standardwerken der römischen Antike.

Lexikon und Konkordanz. Herausgegeben von Astrid Eitel unter Mitwirkung von Sonja Schreiner.

For this lexicon, the veterinarian and veterinary historian Werner Sackmann analysed all veterinary medicines from 11,500 passages in the Mulomedicina Chironis, the Ars Veterinaria of Pelagonius and the Digestorum Artis Mulomedicinae Libri of Vegetius from a pharmacological and veterinary point of view.
Over a period of 30 years, he compiled a meticulous philological compilation of the numerous orthographic variants and divergent readings together with the contemporary identification of the botanical, zoological and mineral remedies. In addition, the articles compare the late antique therapeutic measures with modern 20th and 21st century specialist literature on conventional medicine, allopathy, homeopathy, alternative and folk medicine and naturopathy.

A unique reference work that combines veterinary medicine and veterinary history, pharmacology and philology in equal measure.
