Facsimile edition of Portuguese Pharmacopoeias project

The Project for facsimile publication of ten "Portuguese Pharmacopoeias" started in 2014. Ten volumes were published at the rate of one per year. It is a collaboration between the General Library of the University of Coimbra, Bluepharma-Indústria Farmacêutica, SA and the University of Coimbra Press.

The selection of this set of Portuguese pharmacopoeias was made by Prof. João Rui Pita, who prepared an introductory study for each work. Each facsimile edition also includes a presentation note written by Dr. Paulo Barradas Rebelo, President of Bluepharma, the company that exclusively sponsored this project.

Within the scope of the project, the following facsimile editions were published:
