The State Drug

Theriac, Pharmacy, and Politics in Early Modern Italy

Inhalt

In Renaissance Italy, the Galenic "wonder drug" theriac became a vehicle for political, pharmaceutical, and commercial power. The State Drug shows how regimes and medical authorities secured support by promoting and regulating theriac. In turn, it sheds new light on the relationship between medicine and authority in early modern Europe.
