Greece/Austria: Author Picture of the Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides (c. 40-90 CE) from the medieval manuscript Medicina Antiqua, c. 1250. Pedanius Dioscorides was a Greek physician, pharmacologist and botanist, the author of a 5-volume encyclopedia about herbal medicine and related medicinal substances (a pharmacopeia), that was widely read for well more than a thousand years. A native of Anazarbus, Cilicia, Asia Minor, Dioscorides practiced in Rome at the time of Nero. He was a surgeon with the army of the emperor, so he had the opportunity to travel extensively.
