Pharmacy in History Contributing Editor Petros Bouras-Vallianatos

Contributing Editor

Petros Bouras-Vallianatos is Wellcome Lecturer in History of Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, School of History, Classics and Archaeology. He studied pharmacy, ancient, and Byzantine history, before obtaining his PhD in 2015 from King’s College London. He is a specialist in the history of medicine and pharmacology in the medieval Mediterranean, with a particular focus on Byzantium and on the cultural exchanges between the Christian and Islamic worlds. He is currently working on a five-year Wellcome funded project “Making and Consuming Drugs in the Italian and Byzantine Worlds (12th-15th c.)”.

His first monograph, Innovation in Byzantine Medicine: The Writings of John Zacharias Aktouarios (c. 1275-c. 1330) (Oxford University Press, 2020), highlights the late Byzantine innovative contributions to the fields of physiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics. His forthcoming Routledge monograph provides the editio princeps and an English translation of four significant, previously unpublished, medieval Greek recipe books dated to between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. He has also produced three edited volumes, including Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Galen, which constitutes the first reference work on this important but neglected subject.

Pharmacy in History Book Review Editor Amelie Bonney

Review Editor

Amelie Bonney is a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford based at the History Faculty and the Wellcome Unit for History of Medicine. Her research analyzes medical and scientific debates over the properties of hazardous colors between 1830 and 1914 in France and Britain. It compares responses to the industrial hazards of color production and use in both countries and shows how issues of occupational health and environmental pollution became a means for medical men and scientists to strengthen their reputation and assert their expertise. It further highlights how theories of waste management and technological innovation were used to legitimize the creation of hazardous industries throughout the nineteenth century and beyond.

Amelie has taught courses relating to modern Europe and British History, including tutorials on the topics of “The authority of nature: race, heredity and crime, 1800-1940” as well as “Science and society in the nineteenth century” and “General history and philosophy of science”.
