AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Haegsche Apotheek (1762), published by Johannes de Cros in The Hague, is a Dutch translation of the Latin Pharmacopoea Hagiensis. The work was compiled by the city doctors under the authority of the Hague magistrate, but De Cros's publication was an unauthorized translation, which led to conflicts with the Collegium Medicorum.

The book contains prescriptions and recipes for medicines, based on the Latin pharmacy press of the Hague city doctors.
Added is a note/postscript from the publisher De Cros, in which he explains that he encountered problems with the Collegium Medicorum because he published without their permission.

The work belongs to the official pharmacopoeia tradition of European cities in the 17th and 18th centuries.
It served as a standard reference work for pharmacists and doctors in The Hague, but this edition was controversial due to the lack of official approval.
It illustrates the tension between scientific authority (Collegium Medicorum) and commercial publishers in the 18th century.
