At the end, there was a list of 14 new recipes prepared by the Collegio dei Medici of Rome, including Ceratum capitale Montagnana and Compositio de Hispani. These preparations were already present in the Florentine and Bolognese pharmacopoeias. The last edition of the Roman Antidotarium was printed in 1675. It contained some new prescriptions at the end, including Pulveri per il mal Francese, made of sarsaparilla, guaiacum, cream of tartar, diagridiun, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and fennel. Moreover, the last part of the Antidotarium had been enriched with the addition of Memoriale per lo spetiale romano, Calendario che insegna alli Spetiali quello, ch?ogni mese essi debbano fare per servito delle loro spetiarie, and Lista rerum patendarum, which contained 35 simple medicines and 93 compound ones that the apothecary shops were required to have in stock. Scialappa, i.e. jalap, was introduced into this edition.? - Federica Rotelli. / Pietro Castelli (1574–1662) was an Italian physician and botanist. Born at Rome, he was graduated in 1617 and studied under the botanist Andrea Cesalpino (1519–1603). He was professor at Rome from 1597 until 1634, when he went to Messina. He laid out the botanical gardens at Messina in 1635, where he cultivated many exotic medicinal plants (now the Orto Botanico ?Pietro Castelli? of the University of Messina). The botanist Paolo Boccone studied under Castelli there. Castelli was equally distinguished as a botanist, chemist, and surgeon. He maintained the necessity for all physicians of studying anatomy, and declared in 1648 that he had dissected more than one hundred corpses. [Wikip.].
