People Who Made History
Look them in the face!
– Pliny the Elder died during the eruption of Vesuvius.
– Al-Beruni had a very long nose.
– Theophrastus is a pseudonym meaning “possessor of divine speech”.
– Many plant names that are used today were given by Dioscorides 2 thousand years ago.
– It was said about Paracelsus that he could grow precious stones and pearls, knew the secret of obtaining gold and the elixir of youth. By the way, the name Paracelsus (“equal to Celsus”) was invented by him.
Here you will see living people with their worldview, their character (not always simple), their habits, etc.
Look at those who made the history of pharmacognosy, and about whom we tell students so much in lectures!
Find out how long they lived in this world, what they were like, what they lived for.
Fortunately, we managed to find portraits and information about almost all the scientists we would like to remember when talking about the history of pharmacognosy, based on which we present to you pharmacognosy in faces.
