Lexicon Chymico-pharmaceuticum

Lexicon Chymico-pharmaceuticum, by Johann Helfrich Jüngken, is a comprehensive reference work on pharmaceutical chemistry. Written in Latin, this historical lexicon provides a detailed overview of chemical and pharmaceutical knowledge. It is divided into two distinct parts, offering a structured approach to understanding the medicinal substances and their preparation techniques prevalent during its time. This book serves as a valuable resource for historians of science and medicine, as well as those interested in the evolution of pharmacology and the roots of modern chemistry.

The "Lexicon" offers insights into the alchemical and early chemical practices that shaped the development of pharmaceutical science. Its detailed entries provide a glimpse into the substances and procedures used by apothecaries and physicians. Jüngken's work stands as a testament to the rich history of medical and chemical knowledge.
