Medical issues in Ivan Belostenec’s Gazophylacium

Vladimir Dugački ; Hrvatski liječnički zbor, Zagreb

Sažetak

This paper focuses on the analysis of medical issues in Gazophylacium, encyclopaedic dictionary composed by Ivan Belostenec, a Croatian Paulist. Gazophylacium, with its dictionary richness, was equal to European dictionaries of the time, while the medical advices that Belostenec gives are synchronized with modern medical knowledge. In accordance with this, the paper deals with medical advices, terms for medical staff and institutions, as well as medicinal and apothecary equip ment, with special attention given to ophthalmological terms. Although today a great deal of advice is of little value, the emphasis is on useful medicinal herbs and treatments.
