Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia

The Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia was a medical guide consisting of recipes and methods for making medicine.

It was first published by the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in 1699 as the Pharmacopoea Collegii Regii Medicorum Edimburgensium.

[3] The first edition of the Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia was created in a period of tension between physicians and surgeons and the College of Physicians in Edinburgh sought to regulate the practice of medicine by providing standardized recipes.

The first item in the College of Physician's minutes in 1682 note the need for a committee for creating a pharmacopoeia.

The last two editions were published in English under the title The Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
