Ilias Valiakos

Die anonyme medizinische Rezeptsammlung im Codex Laur. Plut. 75.3

The Laur 75.3 is a medical codex. Between the ff. 33v and 229r there are prescriptions for medicines by an anonymous author. The recipes are divided into sections and chapters according to the Greek alphabet. The irregularities indicate an early version from the late 6th or early 7th century. The majority of the recipes appear here for the first time and are later almost exclusively in the Dynameron of Nikolaos Myrepsos from the 13th century. This anonymous medical text, published here for the first time, is to be seen as one of the stages in the development of the recipe collections and above all as the main source of the Myrepsos.

Elias Valiakos is a lecturer at the University of Thessaly in Greece. His focus is on the "History of Health Sciences." In 2019, Nikolaos Myrepsos’ Dynameron was published for the first time by Propylaeum of the University of Heidelberg (Germany) and republished in 2020 with an English introduction. He has participated in numerous research conferences, edited books and written several articles. His research interests mainly focus on manuscript codices, historical references in therapeutics and nursing approaches during the Byzantine era.
