- De Zweedsche Apotheek: Naar de tweede verbeterde druk, uit het Latijn vertaald.
Harmanus Keyzer: Amsterdam, 1790. Half-linnen, [4], 195, [1 leeg] pp. Omslag niet origineel. Zeldzame eerste en enige Nederlandse editie van de Pharmacopoea Svecica, vertaald naar de tweede editie uit 1779. Randen gebruind, gebruikssporen op omslag. There was no such compilation in Sweden in the 16th century, and the need for one was not felt until the 17th century, which saw the rise of the first apothecaries. A Pharmacopoea Holmiensis (i.e. Stockholm) was put together (1686). It was not widely distributed in the country, and the need for a more complete compilation led to court physician A. Bäck being commissioned to compose a new pharmacopoeia. He was assisted by Linnaeus, who primarily contributed to the section on the effects and uses of medicines. This document, (Materia medica), contained some 380 simple substances, the section on Praeparata et Composita some 400 chemical preparations - as well as a list of substances to induce vomiting (emeticorum), compounds containing mercury, opium, and an alphabetical index. The pharmacopoeia also described how plant drugs should be dried, pulverization, etc. Pharmacopoea Svecica appeared in 1775, that is, three years before Linnaeus passed away (Pharmacopoea Svevica, Linnaeus Online, Uppsala Universitet, botan.uu.se).
