The regulation was issued in 1748 in Latin by Maria Theresa, Empress of the Habsburg Empire and Queen of Hungary. The seller, who Szabolcs Dobson MD bought the Documentum from, was a private individual and was not aware of its content. In Hungary, it was the first regulation issued for a pharmacists’ local community that provided a minute, real, graphic and lively picture of this town’s pharmaceutical professionals and the contemporary therapeutic practice and guidelines. There was a printed document of these regulations published in 1852 by Ferenc Linzbauer in its original Latin version. Ignác Schwarz published the first Hungarian translation in 1894. However, this translation was incomplete and missed abo...

Then, these labels are compared with the list of an 1650 inventory of the apotherary of Gyulafehérvár (Transylvania). We concluded, that among the 257 drawer labels in Kőszeg 52 (about 20%) were common with those of Székesfehérvár, while 86 labels (about 33.3%) were common with the substances of the inventory list of the Gyulafehérvár apothecary. Among 238 drawer labels of the Székesfehérvár apothecary 50 (21%) were common with the substances of the inventory list of the Gyulafehérvár apothecary. Surprisingly, the drawer labels of the two mid 18th century Jesuit apothecaries (Kőszeg and Székesfehérvár) overlapped only in ca. 20% if the number of labels of the Kőszeg apothecary is regarded as 100%. This way there is a greater overlap between the Gyulafehérvár inventory, which is about one hundred years older, and the Kőszeg apothecary drawer labels, than between the two Jesuit apothecaries in the same historical period. We demonstrated, that South American medicinal plant materials, not included in the 1650 inventory list of the Gyulafehérvár apothecary, were already available in the 18th century Hungarian apothecaries.

After the reconstruction of this situatĂve and languages comic of simple transmissions from other fields to the world of medicine we reconstructed the humour of the basic standard situations which becomes theirselves eternal sources of new versions of jokes and anekdotes. Much deeper goes the humour in the world of medicine if concrete symptomes of illnesses occur in the function of leading constitutive moments of the humorous effect itself. An important variant of this type are the well-known very popular jokes about mental illnesses and pathology. In the world of medicine we have a very interesting type of philosophical humour. It's not really about "life" and "death" rather the absurd and paradox view on the hole practice of the medicine. This type of philosophical humour come from the tradition of Parkinson and Murphy and goes back from the distance also to George Orwell. The topic of the institutions of the medicine is'nt so often object of this humour as we would mention. As a general rule we see in our material a largely disenchanted (entzaubert) institutional everyday practices, without secrets, taboos, myths or magic phenomena between life and death.
