Ancient books on herbs - herbalists. Russian herbalists, clinics, pharmaceutical garden and monastery hospitals Ancient herbalists from the 16th to the 17th century

Ancient, medieval and modern books on herbs (herbalists) are books that include a list of medicinal plants, their descriptions and applications.

Since the earliest times, people have used plants to treat various diseases. Doctors, astrologers and magicians have always been studying the properties of plants. Therefore, herbal books describe the healing, astrological and magical properties of plants.

Information about ancient, medieval and later herbal books and their authors has survived to this day. Modern herbalists draw heavily on ancient and medieval herbal sources.

Below we list the most famous ancient herbal books.

Ancient books-herbalists and their authors

Shen-Nun (3216 BC) - Chinese emperor, collected all the information available at that time about medicinal plants and compiled the book "Ben-Cao" ("Book of herbs"). In this book, he summarized the experience of using medicinal plants in China. This book is considered the primary source of oriental medical writings.

The Ebers Papyrus (circa 1570 BC) is an ancient Egyptian herbalist. Contains a description of many plants and their medicinal use for various diseases.

Diokles (IV century BC) - works on medicinal plants.

Krateus (1st century BC) - works on medicinal plants.

Aulus Cornelius Celsus (late 1st century BC - early 1st century AD) - wrote 8 volumes on medicine, in which he summarized all the knowledge about medicine of his time. Described medicinal plants and methods of their use in the treatment of diseases.

Pedanius Dioscorides (1st century AD) - Ancient Roman physician of Greek origin. He studied medicinal plants. He wrote an essay of 5 volumes "Materia medica" ("On Medicines"). He described about 800 medicinal plants and how they work.

Kai Pliny the Elder (23 - 79 AD). In his work "Natural History", consisting of 37 books, he collected more than 2000 works by various authors. He described the plants and gave recommendations on their medicinal use.

Claudius Galen (129 - 201 AD) - Ancient Roman physician and pharmacist. He revised the works of his predecessors and created a new doctrine of active substances in medicinal plants. He proposed to extract active substances from plants by preparing infusions, decoctions, tinctures and extracts. He recommended mixing different substances to enhance their effect. He wrote about 200 works on medicine, including two herbalists, which were translated into many languages. His ideas have not lost their practical significance even now. Until now, decoctions, infusions, tinctures and extracts are called galenic preparations.

Apuleius (1st century A.D.) - was the most famous ancient Roman (Latin) herbalist at that time.

Hippocrates (460 - 377 BC) - a famous ancient Greek doctor. In his medical practice, he used preparations from medicinal plants. The first collected works of medicine attributed to Hippocrates appeared in the 3rd century BC. Presumably, this is a collection of works by various authors - followers of Hippocrates. From these works, one can judge the medical knowledge of that time. It is believed that Hippocrates described 236 types of medicinal plants. The famous saying is attributed to him that diseases arise from a deficiency or excess in the body of one or another element.

Medieval herbal books and their authors

The famous poem "Odo from Mena" (X century) - about the medicinal properties of more than 100 species of plants.

Avicenna (Ibn Sina) (980 - 1037) - scientist, philosopher and physician, an outstanding representative of the Arab medical school.

Albert the Great (XIII century) - composition "Natural history".

Thomas de Cantiprato (XU century) - wrote the "Book of Nature".

Paracelsus (1493 - 1541) is an outstanding physician. He created the doctrine according to which each herb, in color and appearance, has an indication of its medicinal purpose. For example, the yellow color of plants indicates their effectiveness in treating diseases of the liver and gallbladder, and the shape of the leaves, which outwardly resembles the internal organs of a person, indicates their ability to treat diseases of these organs. This teaching was very popular, although, as it turned out later, it is not true.

Leonart Fuchs (1501 - 1566) - professor of medicine. In 1542 he published his work on medicinal plants.

Nicholas Calperer (1616 - 1654) - English physician-astrologer, expert in herbal medicine. Developed the principles of astrological herbal medicine. Systematized herbs according to the signs of the zodiac and planets. His system is still used today. During the treatment, he prescribed herbs related to the antagonistic planets of the planets responsible for the disease. For example, he prescribed herbs of the Sun for diseases of Saturn and Mars.

Sedir "Magic Plants" 1655 (Russian translation 1909)

Sebastian Kneipp (1821 - 1897) - in his writings he reworked the already known knowledge of herbs and added his own experience. He treated with herbal infusions and juices.

The first translations of the ancient herbalists Dioscorides, Galen and Apuleius into European languages ​​(Italian, French, English, German) appeared in the 9th and 10th centuries. Medieval European herbalists first appeared in the 15th and 16th centuries. The information in them was mainly borrowed from more ancient antique or Arabic sources.

In the Middle Ages, in addition to the famous "herbalists", many little-known "medical books" were published containing information about medicinal plants and their use. Many new herbalists were copies of famous medieval books.

The archive contains:

SLAVIC NAMES(COLLECTION OF SLAVIC PERSONAL NAMES) 1867

Slavic nomenclature or Collection of Slavic personal names in alphabetical order
Collection of Slavic personal names, compiled by priest M. Moroshkin. The human name is not an empty sound that does not have any meaning, but it has a meaning, it expresses a certain thought, it denotes a certain property and quality, so, according to Pott, for philologists in the strict sense there are no proper names, but only names exist common nouns. The decomposition and separation of proper personal names by their roots will directly and clearly reveal their origin from nicknames that have a common noun meaning. This quality or common noun property of personal names belongs to all peoples, both ancient and modern.

Belief in the magical power of stones goes back millennia.
In ancient India, the best emeralds were considered men, in China, jade was considered as the most perfect embodiment of the masculine principle in nature. In ancient Babylon, precious stones were alive for people, they lived and ached. There were male stones (large and shiny) and female stones (not so beautiful). The Babylonians believed that stars could transform into animals, metals and stones. They considered lapis lazuli as one of the star stones.

The Phoenicians carried this belief to Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
Symbolic images were engraved on the stones, enhancing their magical properties: on amethyst - a bear, on beryl - a frog, on chalcedony - a rider with a spear, on sapphire - a ram, etc.

In "Izbornik Svyatoslav" a stone is attributed to each month, and these gems are mentioned in the same order as in the Hebrew Pentateuch, written one and a half millennia earlier.
In the 11th century in Latin was written in verse "The Book of Stones", which describes the places where about 70 minerals were mined, and also tells about their healing and magical powers.

Properties of stones

In ancient times, a certain property was attributed to each stone: diamond - purity and innocence, sapphire - constancy, red ruby ​​- passion, pink ruby ​​- tender love, emerald - hope, topaz - jealousy, turquoise - caprice, amethyst - devotion, disgrace - inconstancy, sardonyx - marital happiness, agate - health, chrysoprase - success, hyacinth - protection, aquamarine - failure.

For thousands of years, the stone was also an irreplaceable medicine that was used for various serious ailments, powders from stones were prescribed by doctors, and they could be bought in pharmacies.

In the middle of the 18th century, German pharmacists prescribed complex recipes with powdered crystals of gems - emerald, sapphire, ruby, topaz, lapis lazuli.

The Krakow Museum contains a recipe that was written by Nicolaus Copernicus - evidence that he believed in the healing power of precious stones. In his recipes, he used powders of pearls, emeralds, sapphire, silver, gold, etc.

However, gems were naturally very expensive. Only very rich people could afford to grind them into powder, so the German doctors of the 16th century recommend, for example, to take more pomegranate instead of sapphire. Something like the way they now write about herbs in medical books.

Belief in the healing power of stones, in their magical properties has been passed down from generation to generation.

Descriptions of the magical and healing properties of gems are given in almost all books on alchemy, in the books of writers of the past and the present day.

Determining the value of a stone

In France, Alphonse Louis Constant, who lived in the 19th century, wrote a treatise "Stones are a living thing", where he outlined the ideas of ancient and medieval authors about precious stones, their value, variety, mystical and medicinal properties. In terms of value, he arranged the stones as follows:

Gems of the first rank include: diamond, sapphire, ruby, chrysoberyl, alexandrite, emerald, spinel, euclase.

Gems of the second rank include: topaz, aquamarine, beryl, red tourmaline, demantoid, phenakite, blood amethyst, almandine, hyacinth, opal, zircon.

He referred to semiprecious stones: garnet, epidote, dioptase, turquoise, green and variegated tourmalines, pure rock crystal, rauchtopaz, light amethyst, chalcedony, moonstone, sun stone, labrador.

Colored stones include: lapis lazuli, bloodstone, jade, amazonite, labradorite, eye spars, malachite, aventurine, varieties of spar and jasper, vesuvian, smoky and rose quartz, jet, amber, coral, mother of pearl.

The value of pearls varies.

Classification of gemstones by color

In the same treatise, the classification of precious stones by color is given on the basis of the found shades:

Colorless stones- transparent: diamond, rock crystal, topaz; opaque: chalcedony, milk opal.

Transparent bluish-green gems: aquamarine, topaz, euclase, tourmaline; opaque: amazonite, jasper.

Transparent blue and cyan gems: sapphire, aquamarine, tourmaline, topaz; opaque: lapis lazuli, turquoise.

Transparent purple and pinkish gems: ruby, spinel, tourmaline, almandine.

Transparent dark red and brown stones: pomegranate, hyacinth, tourmaline, amber.

Transparent yellow and gold gems: beryl, topaz, tourmaline, zircon, smoky quartz, amber;

Opaque: carnelian, aventurine, semi-fallen.

Obscure black stones: jet, agate, black tourmaline (sherl), bloodstone.

Transparent variegated stones: tourmaline; opaque: jasper, heliotrope, agates, onyx, eye spars.

Transparent and translucent iridescent stones: moonstone, hairy, labrador, noble opal, pearls.

The first medical encyclopedias in Russia were herbalists and medical doctors.
Pharmacy "with a German" and the Pharmaceutical garden.


Medical book in Russia

The most ancient monuments of medical writing are therapists and herbalists. Descriptions of healing can be found in the collections ("Izbornik Grand Duke Svyatoslav Yaroslavich"), the Gospels ("Ostromir Gospel", "Archangel's Gospel") and Lives ("The Tale of Peter and Fevronia").

From these ancient chronicles and books, of which, by the way, only 200 copies have survived to our time, you can learn that the most popular medicines were from wormwood, nettle, plantain, wild rosemary, "hateful" (bodyagi), linden flowers, birch leaves, ash bark, juniper berries.

Later in the Moscow state, prototypes of pharmacies appeared - "green shops", in which they sold various herbs and medicines prepared on their basis. Under Ivan the Terrible, pharmacies with a "German", that is, a foreigner, were opened in Moscow. Around the same time, in the 15th century, a physician of the Stroganov salt pans compiled the "Healer of the Stroganov medicines about the treatment of all diseases and all kinds of greenery."

In the 17th century, the so-called "Vertogrady"(gardens), the compilers of which talked not only about the methods of making medicines and some chemical operations, but also about the behavior of a doctor with patients: "A doctor who comes to a sick person should sit down next to him decently, without haste, and talk to the amusement of the sick person." Usually "Vertograd" began with the question: "Is it a sin to resort to medical tricks?" The answer was immediately given: medical art is needed "like agriculture"

RECIPES "COOL VERTOGRAD"

These few tips are taken from a 17th century manuscript entitled "The Verb Book Cool Vertograd. The Physician's Book of the Patriarchal Cell Keeper Philagrius". The adaptation of the book for the modern reader was made by T. Isachenko, an employee of the Russian State Library.

Against cough:

"Licorice juice in small crumbs or a lollipop piece with sugar in your mouth to melt and swallow - heals the lungs and relieves coughs."

"The seed of Zenzivera (marshmallow) is crushed and accepted in wine - it extinguishes a cough and easily creates a cough."

"The ear in which the peas are boiled will take away the old cough."

"The grass of violets with the roots is crushed and boiled in water and give the children to drink that water - their harmful cough will be alleviated."

"Caraway is crushed and mixed with wine berries, boil in wine and drink - the old cough will take away."

For headaches:

"The juice of the garden mint is mixed with vinegar equally - to anoint the forehead and whiskey, then the main pain will cease."

"The color of chamomile is boiled in water and applied hot to the sick head - the main pain is extinguished."

"Finely crush the mustard seed and ginger and mix with honey and then rinse your mouth or keep it in your mouth for a long time - it will cleanse the brain of the phlegm, from which the head is sick."

"We sprinkle the seed of anise on the charcoal heat and smell that spirit with our nostrils - it will be suitable for those whose head hurts."

Pharmaceutical garden

For a long time in Russia they love herbs, trust their healing effect. Among the Eastern Slavs, writing appeared only in the X century, but already in one of the earliest monuments of Old Russian culture "Izbornik of the Grand Duke Svyatoslav Yaroslavovich", dated 1073, a description of medicinal plants is given. The first Russian medical book "Mazi" was compiled by the granddaughter of Vladimir Monomakh - Eupraxia. In 1581, under Ivan IV, the first Apothecary hut appeared, which served only the royal court. In 1620, a special Pharmaceutical Order was created, in charge of the collection of medicinal plants. In 1654, the first medical school was opened in Moscow, which trained doctors and pharmacists.

In the 18th century, pharmaceutical gardens appeared in Moscow - gardens where medicinal plants were cultivated: at the walls of the Kremlin (Red Embankment Gardens), behind the Myasnitsky Gate, in the German Sloboda.
Apple trees, cherries, and raspberries were also planted in the gardens - their fruits were used by healers.
There were also "riding gardens", set up on the roofs of the Kremlin, where sage, rue, mint and other aromatic herbs were grown in boxes.

Medicines were prepared in "cooks", where they already used the technology of obtaining distilled water ("passing water") according to the German book of Jerome of Braunschweig (Strasbourg, 1537).

Peter I ordered the creation of pharmaceutical gardens in all large cities, at military hospitals. In St. Petersburg, Aptekarsky Island was allocated for such a vegetable garden, which later became the Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Peter I personally ordered herbs from Moscow to St. Petersburg and asked that the paths be planted with chamomile and mint, "which smell".

Large plantations of medicinal plants were also arranged in Astrakhan and in the town of Lubny near Poltava.

In 1754, the medical office stopped the import of medicinal plants from abroad.
The first Russian pharmacopoeia, published in Latin in 1798, included about 300 medicinal plants, of which more than half grow only in Siberia. The famous Russian naturalist I.I. Lepekhin took an active part in its creation.

Pharmaceutical garden

According to legend, even when the garden was founded, Peter himself planted three conifers here: spruce, fir and larch "to teach citizens about their differences."

In 1798, the Medical-Surgical Academy was opened, which became a center for the study of medicinal plants. Plantations of medicinal plants, experimental stations, pharmaceutical enterprises for the production of herbal remedies, and research institutions were systematically created. In particular, the All-Union Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants was founded near Moscow in 1931.

View of the palm greenhouse

In the 1850s, a major reconstruction of the garden was undertaken in order to make it more attractive to the townspeople. The formerly purely scientific institution now has a new function: the garden has become a favorite resting place for Muscovites. Part of it was "decorated in the English style", many flowers appeared, and "benches and sofas were placed in different places for the convenience of the visitor." I.E. Repin, who was in the garden, once wrote in his diary:
"There are many nice peasants and women in the university garden, despite the high entrance fee."

Picturesque old pond

Back in the 18th century, a pond was built in the pharmaceutical garden using the technology of the so-called "clay castle" - its bottom was lined with several layers of gray Gzhel clay. The pond was originally rectangular; and in the middle of the 19th century, in accordance with the fashion for landscape gardens "in the English style", it was given a free shape that has survived to this day

Monastic hospitals and "folk healers".

In the XI century. monastery medicine began to develop, monastery hospitals appeared. The Nikon Chronicle records that in 1091 Metropolitan Ephraim set up hospitals in Pereyaslav. Later they appeared in Novgorod, Smolensk and other cities.

Information about the monastery hospital is contained in the monastery chronicles - "Kiev-Pechersk Patericon" (XII century). It contains references to monks renowned for their medical skills. These are the "wonderful healer" Anthony and his disciple "Venerable Agapit", who healed the grandson of Yaroslav the Wise, the future Kiev prince Vladimir Monomakh. The legend has survived that Prince Vladimir summoned Agapit to him, having lost hope of healing from a serious illness. However, Agapit did not leave the monastery. He refused to visit the prince and sent him his "potion", from which Vladimir quickly recovered. After his recovery, the prince wished to generously reward the skillful doctor and gave him rich gifts. Agapit distributed princely gifts to poor people.

Historical parallels: Secular doctors ("lechtsy"), both Russian and foreign, have long served in the princely and boyar courts in Russia. Chronicle of the XI-XII centuries. retained the mention of the Armenian Lechet ("Ormyanin"), who was "extremely cunning in healing." Princes Vsevolod and Vladimir Monomakh turned to this doctor, who knew how to identify diseases by appearance and pulse. At the court of the Chernigov prince in the XII century. served as a healer Peter, nicknamed the Syrian (Syrian).

"Kiev-Pechersk Paterik" contains a message about medical disputes ("contests about the doctor's cunning") between Agapit and "Ormyanin", on the one hand, and Pyotr Syriyanin, on the other.

The chronicles of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra also mention the "Monk Alimpiy". He cured lepers with ointment after the "wise men and unfaithful people" could not cure them. The sick and the orphan, including the mentally ill, have been sent to monasteries since the 11th century. In many monastic hospitals, skilled monks practiced healing. "Kiev-Pechersk Paterik" contains a list of requirements for them: the physicians had to do the dirtiest work, caring for the sick; be tolerant of them; not worry about personal enrichment. Some healing monks were subsequently canonized by the Orthodox Church.

The monasteries often contained hospital wards. Birch bark letters of the beginning of the XIV century. report the existence of monastery hospitals in ancient Novgorod. In the first half of the XVI century. a hospital was founded at the Solovetsky Monastery. There was a special hospital library here. The monks were engaged not only in practical medicine, correspondence and storage of manuscripts, but also in the translation of Greek and Latin medical books. At the same time, they supplemented them with their own knowledge based on the experience of Russian folk healing. At the beginning of the 15th century. in the Kirillo-Belozersky monastery, on the territory of which the hospital wards were located, its founder, monk Kirill Belozersky (1337-1427) translated from Greek a small handwritten treatise "Galinovo on Hippocrates" - Galen's comments on the composition of one of the doctors of the Hippocrates school "On the nature of man ". Later, this work was often included in the composition of numerous herbalists and physicians and gained wide popularity.

Until the middle of the XVI century. in Russia there were only monastic hospitals. The first attempt to entrust the state with part of the concern for the health of people is associated with a meeting of a large church council in 1551, called Stoglavy, or Stoglav, since its decisions were formulated in a collection containing 100 chapters. At this council, it was decided to involve not only clergymen, but also the civilian population in work in almshouses for the sick and infirm. During the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the intention was first expressed to open state hospitals and almshouses. Historical chronicles also report on ruling people who cared for the sick, seeing this as a Christian duty. Thus, the Tsar's advisor, the head of the Petition Order A. Adashev "fed the poor, kept ten lepers in his house and washed them with his own hands."

The “folk healers” are also referred to in “Russkaya Pravda” - the oldest surviving collection of Russian laws, compiled under Yaroslav the Wise. "Russkaya Pravda" legally established the salary of doctors: according to the laws of that time, a person who caused damage to the health of another person had to pay a fine to the state treasury and give the victim money to pay for treatment.

Horoscopes of stones and minerals
Ruby

Element - Fire. Ruby is one of the four most expensive gemstones. Very hard. The color of the ruby ​​is red, bright red, dark red or violet-red. Ruby is named from the Latin ruber - red. Known since antiquity, used for inserts into jewelry, ornaments.

Due to its hot, glowing color, ruby ​​has always been considered a revitalizing stone, strengthening the heart and banishing longing. Ruby is corundum associated with Leo. This is a stone of power, and therefore it can be worn by people who have reached a certain position, people associated with the karma of other people. The rest of the ruby ​​cannot be worn. Or wear it only in exceptional cases. Ruby is a stone of brilliance, vanity, creative return. It takes away too much energy from a person and can cause an overexpenditure of energy, too much desire to shine and be noticeable. Ruby is the pure power of the Sun in Leo. It should be noted that people with blood diseases are not shown wearing a ruby ​​either. It also should not be worn by people with high blood pressure - they may have a cerebral hemorrhage. People with low blood pressure can wear a ruby, especially fire signs: Leo, Sagittarius, Aries. This is their stone, it gives power and shine. Ruby is also a magic stone, gives power over the lower astral, over the lower elements. But it is suitable only for the magician who has already received several degrees of initiation. A student who strives for excellence in this art, wearing a ruby ​​is contraindicated. Ruby is good for fire signs. Capricorns can wear it, but they get used to it for a long time.

Ruby lowers blood pressure and helps heal psoriasis. Helps with exhaustion of the nervous system, relieves night fears, helps with epilepsy. Has a tonic effect. Red yagont-ruby in Central Asia was considered to heal epilepsy and plague, if you eat a small fraction of it. According to Armenian beliefs, a ruby ​​put in your mouth will quench your thirst, and worn in a ring will protect you from the effects of a blow (apparently, a modern stroke). Vietnamese medicine classifies the red ruby ​​as beneficial in the treatment of heart disease and as a source of joy. European books on stones extolled the real and fictional properties of the ruby. The Lapidarium of the King of Castile Alfonso X calls it the one that removes sorrows and gives joy. Whoever wears it will not feel upset, and if the stone is crushed into powder and mixed with heart medicine, then it will be very effective in treating inflammation and the destruction of blood clots. Apparently, ruby ​​was added to the drug to enhance its effect.

The 13th century Indian medical literature saw ruby ​​as a valuable remedy for gas and biliousness. In a treatise on the stones of the XIV century, attributed to John Mandeville (an Englishman, who wrote, however, in French), it is said that the happy owner of a sparkling ruby ​​will live in peace and harmony with all people, that he will not lose any lands, pi honors and will protected from all dangers. The stone will protect his house, garden and vineyards from storm damage. But for this, a rimmed stone had to be worn on the left side of the body. In the Russian Healer of the 16th century, it is said about the ruby: whoever wears a yacht is red, he will not see terrible dashing dreams, he will strengthen his heart and will be honest in people. By the type of light radiation, Lithotherapy considers it favorable for the functioning of the brain and heart, beneficially affecting weak-willed people, awakening courage, responsibility, striving for leadership and relieving an inferiority complex.

Indian astrology calls the ruby ​​a stone of power, strength and violent energy associated with the karma of purposeful and bright people. This clot of energy strengthens strength, drives away melancholy and protects from evil spells. The main mystical property of the ruby ​​is to give rise to an attraction to the great.
