by Nanno Bolt (Author)
From the era of Charles the Bold in 1477, the State of Burgundy encompassed not only present-day Netherlands but also modern Belgium, various counties in northern France, the Duchy of Burgundy, and the counties of Nevers and Burgundy. Beginning in the 1200s, the first apothecary establishments emerged in the towns within this Burgundian territory. But what was life like for these medieval apothecaries? This book delves into questions such as:
