Abstrakt		Background. Not many data are available on medicine in the territory of todays Slovenia in the 16th century, the period of early renaissance. The preserved documents indicate the important influence of discoveries and events in 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 which was 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 of animal and mineral origin, as well as more than 1000 wood-carvings. Some 300 species 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.
Izvleček		Izhodišča. Ni mnogo podatkov o medicini na ozemlju današnje Slovenije iz časa zgodnje renesanse v 16. stoletju. Ohranjeni podatki kažejo, da so takratna odkritja in dogajanja v svetu pomembno vplivala tudi na usmeritev in na razvoj medicine v Evropi. V letih med 1541 in 1554 je deloval v Gorici zdravnik in botanik P.A. Mattioli, avtor obsežnega farmakološkega priročnika, ki so ga uporabljali do konca 18. stoletja. Zaključki. Odkritje idrijskega rudnika živega srebra sovpada z epidemijo luesa, ki je zajela Evropo po odkritju Amerike. Zdravljenje z živim srebrom je pomenilo prehod od galenskega h kemičnemu zdravljenju. Kronične zastrupitve z živim srebrom pri idrijskih rudarjih je opisal kot očividec med drugimi tudi P.A. Mattioli. Njegov herbal "Commentarii in sex libros Pedacii Dioscoridis Anazarbei de Medica materia" (1554) vsebuje okrog 1100 opisov in upodobitev zdravilnih rastlin, živali in mineralov z več kot 1000 lesorezi. Dioskoridovim opisom je dodal okrog 300 vrst rastlin in jih opisal prvič. Med njimi je prvič objavil opis in podobo kranjske bunike (volčič), ki so jo 200 let pozneje imenovali Scopolia carniolica in iz nje izdelali skopolamin. Zdravnik in botanik Mattioli velja po svojem delu za začetnika alpske botanike v južni Evropi in za Scopolijevega predhodnika v jugozahodnem delu današnje Slovenije.
