Abstract

This paper compares „Taxa Pharmaceutica Posoniensis”, the most important tariff book from 1745, to the drawer labels and inventory lists of 5 pharmacies from the 18th century (Gyulafehérvár, Kőszeg, Segesvár, Szeged, Székesfehérvár). Nowadays, thanks to work of the members of the Hungarian Society for the History of Pharmacy (MGYTT), we have lists about the drawer labels of the 18th century apothecary furniture pieces in Kőszeg, Segesvár, Szeged and Székesfehérvár in terms of their medicinal contents indicated, which I have studied. I compare labels and the list of inventories of the apotherary with the „Taxa Posoniensis” to find out, which medicines and pharmaceutical materials were available in each pharmacy
