Books by Jerry Stannard

Jerry Stannard assembled a body of work on the history of botany from Homer to Linnaeus. However, his work was cut short by his death, preventing the ultimate synthesis of knowledge which he had envisioned. This work and its companion "Pristina Medicamenta" bring together his articles and studies.

This volume assembles a selection of papers on pharmacy and medical botany, from the classical period to 1500. It combines philological expertise with the scientific perspective of modern pharmacology to measure accuracy and efficacy.
