Overview

PhMr.
Alois Jandouš (1838–1893), a Prague pharmacist, laid the foundations of modern Czech pharmaceutical literature. His first Czech book was a Latin-Czech dictionary published in 1864. Jandouš collected the terms from the 5^thedition of the Austrian Pharmacopoeia. Besides Czech translations of nine hundred Latin names of pharmaceuticals, it also presented many Czech synonyms and translations of other technical terms. Though not all of his proposed terms have been accepted, he has established modern Czech pharmaceutical terminology.
