title: [Inventories after the death of Jörg Barut, apothecary, and Hyeronymus Lütterwein, a draper].
abstract: Town archives of Colmar (France) include an inventory after the death of Jörg Barut, apothecary in Colmar in 1564, a small booklet of 48 pages. After a study of the profession of apothecaries in Colmar from the 14th to the 16th centuries, the authors tried to identify who was Jörg Barut and where was located his pharmacy. Then, they give a detail description of this inventory of the pharmacy. At the same time, they found an inventory of a draper, Hyeronymus Lütterwein, who died a few days before Barut. It was for them an opportunity to compare the inventories and to observe that a number of spices, herbs and other items were the same between the two professions. From that viewpoint, the study show the turning point of the history in this 16th century where one change from empiric knowledge to more and more rigorous observation of nature, and a progressive evolution to an clearer identity of the pharmaceutical profession.
