The Biological Bulletin!

The journal has just completed its archival project, resulting in the online publication of over a century of content. All articles, from the first issue in 1897 to those published 12 months ago, are now available free online

We may not have been around to publish Linnaeus, but in the past 110 years The Biological Bulletin has published names such as T.H. Morgan, Jacques Loeb, Frank R. Lillie, Julien Huxley, C. Ladd Prosser, Libbie Hyman, A. Szent-Györgyi, and many others well known to biology. Now you can read these original papers without a subscription, at //The Biological Bulletin’s// website.

This was a joint project by Biological Bulletin staff and HighWire Press of Stanford University, the journal’s online publisher. The decision to provide free access to this huge archive reflects the journal’s continuing commitment to make important scientific content available to the world. (FYI- the above files were not made available to BHL for ingestion)

Medicinal Plants of Antiquity: A Computerized Database

Dr. Alain Touwaide, Smithsonian Institution, Department of Botany
Summary
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The program aims to recover the therapeutic uses of plants in classical antiquity (5th century B.C. to 2nd century A.D.) for possible integration into contemporary research on natural medicines. The resulting comprehensive computerized database, the first on this topic, will be made available to scientists and scholars through a fee-based site. Research will be based on the three major ancient extant works, or groups of works, on pharmaceutical therapy and medicinal plants, those by, or attributed to: Hippocrates (5th-4th cent. B.C.), Dioscorides (1st cent. A.D.), and Galen (2nd cent. A.D.). Texts will be read in the original language (Greek); relevant data will be extracted and translated into English, and both versions will be stored in a primary database and indexed for retrieval. Secondary databases, up to four, will be used to store identifications of the plants and diseases mentioned in the texts, when possible, in addition to historical data on the authors and their works. These secondary databases will be linked to the primary database so that users of the primary database can consult at any moment the necessary information for a better understanding of ancient texts.
