Brief Overview
Valerius Cordus was a German physician, botanist and pharmacologist who wrote the first Pharmacopeia of Northern Europe.
He collected a number of formulas from the most respected authors and texts which he showed to other physicians in his home town of Nuremberg. He was apparently persuaded by them to print it for the benefit of the physicians and apothecaries.
It became highly regarded and was reprinted many times, being one of the most revered early European Pharmacopoeias.
