Newe Apotecker Ordnung zu Bamberg

The high relevance of pharmacies in early modern cities is also reflected in their official regulations. An example of this is the Newe Apotecker Order issued in Bamberg in 1584. In this, Prince Bishop Ernst von Mengersdorf laid down guidelines for the professional activities of pharmacists and the manufacture of medicinal products. In addition, the prices for medicinal substances and remedies were fixed in it.
