[The first decades of pharmaceutical training at the Royal Hungarian University in the XVIIIth century].
This is the second part of the author's former article; the previous one was published in the last issue of our journal. The author gives an overview on the education of pharmacists in 18th-century Hungary. She attempts to provide a complete list of the sources of medical and pharmaceutical education, with a special regard on subjects lacking any textbook published in Hungary at that time. Based on the analysis of hand-written and archival data author concludes that students during their courses borrowed the required exsiccated material or manuscripts and even the herbal items from the University itself. Author calls our attention to the hitherto neglected fact, that the possibility of acquiring botanical knowledge was actually given at the University, while former researches emphasized only the difficulties. Even the library of the university at Buda and Pest possessed a rather valuable material. Author concludes, that the pharmaceutical education in Hungary presented the average level of the age.
