Parisian Pierre Pomet's pharmacopoeia A Compleat History of Druggs (1712) was intended not only as a handbook for the medical trade but also as as a rough guide to the exotic for armchair travellers. Pomet (1658-1699) was born into a family of Parisian merchant importers of exotic medical products from the Middle East and Asia. After extensive travel in Europe, he set up his own business and rapidly earned a reputation for the supply of high-grade pharmaceuticals.
