„Von der Krafft und Würckung“: Pflanzen als Nahrungs- und Heilmittel in Hieronymus Bocks „Kreütter Buch“ (1539) neu gelesen"
What view did doctors and plant researchers have of various plant species in the 16th century and how should the knowledge of that time be evaluated in the context of today's research?
The exhibition of the IAG Nutrition, Health, Prevention in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology deals with these questions and can be visited in the staircase of the BBAW in Jägerstraße 22/23 (ground floor to 3rd floor) between January 20 and July 31, 2024. You can also find an online version of the exhibition on this website here.
