Second edition of Bauderons pharmacopoeia to be edited by the pharmacist of the University of Montpellier François Verny, whose first edition of Bauderon appeared in 1662, and who added several other texts by Laurens Chatelan, Guillaume Sauvageon and Verny himself: an answer to Johannes Zwelfer (1618-1668), the court physician in Vienna, who had also written a Pharmacopoeia (Vienna 1652), and who had composed an apologia. Brice Bauderons work itself was first published in 1588: Paraphrase sur la pharmacopée (Lyon, Benoist Rigaud, 1588), with more than 43(!) editions to the end of the 17th century.
Brice (Briçon) Bauderon, Seigneur de Sénecey (ca. 1540-1623) was a French physician who after his study at the University of Montpellier settled in Mâcon. Apart from his Praxis medica in duos libros tractatus distincta (Parin 1620), he published his famous Pharmacopée in 1588 which met with enormous success and was translated into German (already in 1595) and English. It is generally considered the most important French manual of pharmacology of the 17th century.
