Extensive searches across major library catalogs (including LOC, local scholarly catalogs, and OpenAlex) yielded no evidence of an English translation of Augustus Quirinus Rivinus's 'Censura Medicamentorum Officinalium' (1701).

About This Book
medicine
Step inside the chaotic 18th-century pharmacy, where gold leaf and human remains were sold as cures alongside common weeds. Augustus Quirinus Rivinus launches a scathing, rationalist assault on the 'Augean stables' of medicine, demanding a radical purge of superstition, filth, and fraud. Discover how one pioneering physician fought to transform a landscape of 'natural magic' and animal dung into a professional, evidence-based science.
