Sažetak
Folk-medicine records in Croatia are founded in folk-medicine books (so-called Ljekaruše) which are sources of European medieval monastic medicine. Ljekaruše are collections of recipes from the traditional folk medicine which contain instructions for preparing remedies and their use in the healing of human and animal diseases. They were written in the period from the 14th to 20th centuries. They were written in old Slavic alphabet glagoljica, Latin script and old Croatian script poljička bosančica and rely on Slavic, Roman, Greek, Arab, Byzantine and medieval Salerno tradition. Herbal manuals are important sources of information for historians of medicine and pharmacy because they contain the names of folk diseases, herbal drugs as well as the technology for ethno-pharmaceutical preparations. They are an interesting source of information on the treatment of those medicinal plants which are neglected or unknown today in official medicine, although they have medicinal properties. In the article were compared some of the most commonly used herbal drugs mentioned in the Materia medica of several Croatian folk-medicine books (Books of medicine, Libar od likarij by Don Petar Kaštelan and The Great Folk-medicine manuscript from Sinj) which still have an important place in contemporary phytopharmacy.
