Translation of Dunameron, a pharmaceutical treatise taken partly from the Antidotarium of Nicolaus Salernitanus, with whom Nicolaus, Myrepsus since has been confused. Cf. Sarton, G. Intro. hist. science, v. 2, p. 1094; Ferguson, J. Bib. chemica, v. 2, p. 123 and 223. It consists of 48 sections, containing more than 2500 medical formulae, arranged according to their form and object. It is chiefly compiled from former writers, and contains many superstitious remedies. It remained the principal pharmaceutical code of the Parisian medical faculty until 1651. He is well known for the preparation, Aurea Alexandrina, an ancient opiate. It is called Aurea from the gold which enters its composition, and Alexandrina for the physician Nicolaus Myresus Alexandrinus, who invented it. It was considered to be a good preservative against colic and apoplexy.
