    Stropnik, Zlata
    Background. Not many data are available on medicine in the territory of todaysSlovenia in the 16th century, the period of early renaissance. The preserved documents indicate the important influence ... of discoveries and eventsin the South and Middle Europe of that time on trends and further development of medicine. In the years 1541-1554, a physician and herbalist P.A. Mattioli was active in Gorica. He wrote an extensive medical manual whichwas used also in the following centuries.Conclusions. The discovery of the Idrija quicksilver mine coincided with the epidemic of syphilis which had spread in Europe after the discovery of America. Medical treatment with quicksilver meant the shift from herbalto chemical treatment. Chronic poisoning of Idrija miners with quicksilver was described also by the eye-witness P.A. Mattioli in his extensive encyclopaedia of pharmacology "Commentarii in sex libros Pedacii Dioscoridis Anazarbei de Medica materia" (1554), containing some 1100 descriptions and drawings of plants, medicines ofanimal and mineral origin, as well as more than 1000 wood-carvings. Some 300species of plants were described for the first time, among them the one named Scopolia carniolica 200 years later. Due to his work as a phisician and herbalist, Mattioli is considered to be a pioneer of the Alpine botany in the South Europe and Scopolis predecessor in the south-west part of todays Slovenia.
