Vienna circa 1776. Maria Theresa was the eldest daughter of emperor Charles I and of Elizabeth Christina of Brunswick. At the death of her father in 1740 she became the sole heiress of his dominions of the house of Austria. Upon her accesion to the throne the neighboring countries tried to capture parts of the empire which led to the Wars of Austrian Succession which finally concuded with the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748. This is the famous criminal code of Maria Theresa which used torture as a means of "eliciting truth." Her insticts were absolutist and she would allow nothing that limited state power even as she reformed the education system and worked to better the lives of her citizens. And she did not forbid torture. Torture was only to be used in capital and very serious criminal cases. Included in this volume are very graphic illustrattions of instruments of torture thumb-screws stocks racks burning candles leg vices winches the Viennese shoe! with detailed and precise instruction of their use. According to the Britannica this edition was suppressed by Prince Kaunitz chancellor of the state and an advisor to the Empress. Torture was formally abolished in the empire in 1776. Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina was the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and the last of the House of Habsburg. Maria Theresa and her husband Francis I Holy Roman Emperor had sixteen children including Queen Marie Antoinette of France. Maria Theresa was the absolute sovereign . She promulgated financial and educational reforms promoted commerce and the development of agriculture and reorganised Austria's ramshackle military all of which strengthened Austria's international standing.

1776ref. I14AUD0VK13VVienna 1776. 8vo. Johan Thomas Edlen von Trattnern Contemporary calf light brown morocco spine label with title in gold red sprinkled edges. With a woodcut coat-of-arms on the title-page and typographical head- and tailpieces. 10 384 18 pp. First edition of the German version of the Pharmacopoeia Austriaco-Provincialis first published in 1774. Many editions of both the original Latin and German translation followed. Based on a thorough analysis it can be determined that pharmaceutical care was on a high level in the area of South-Eastern Europe and that it followed the scholarly pharmacy in the Habsburg monarchy.The necessity to publish the pharmacopoeia in German was because it was used by minor medical professions without knowledge of Latin such as surgeons. A Dutch translation of the pharmacopoeia entitled Apotheek der Oostenrijksche Staaten which was based on the edition of 1775 was published in Rotterdam in 1780. The content and the format of the new pharmacopoeia had changed dramatically compared to the former one. While the Viennese Dispensatory represented a Baroque pharmacopoeia in size and in its abundance of recipes the new Pharmacopoeia Austriaco-Provincialis was a rather small booklet with a drastically reduced number of formulations.Two sections built up the body of the pharmacopoeia. The first one cited the Materia Pharmaceutica minerals crude drugs of plant and animal origin in separate chapters mentioning the Latin name the scientific identification and the Austrian local name of all items. Another chapter listed the chemical characters some of them still representing alchemical signs. The second part consisted of formulated preparations in alphabetical order followed by an index. The pharmacopoeia had a new concept and for the first time specified the medicinal ingredients alphabetically and listed the formulations in alphabetical order according to the recipes names.Corners slightly bumped otherwise in very good condition.l Christa Kletter The civil Pharmacopoeias of Austria Paper Austrian International Society for the history of Pharmacy 2015 pp. 7-8. unknown
