Materiały do dziejów ustawodawstwa medycznego i aptekarskiego we wczesnonowożytnym Elblągu (cz. 1): siedemnastowieczna Ordinantz, Der Herren Medicorum, Apothecker, Barbierer

Unlike in other large cities of Royal Prussia, i.e., Gdańsk/Danzig and Toruń/Thorn, the intra-city legislation regulating the local market for medical, surgical, apoth- ecary, and midwifery services in Elbląg/Elbing have been largely overlooked by scholars. Additionally, the history of healthcare and pharmacy organization in El- blag remains a little-explored topic in both Polish and foreign historiography. The article aims to analyse the hitherto unknown 17th c. ordinance for physicians, apothecaries, and barbers issued by the Elbląg city council, and provides the trust- worthy primary text (scholarly edition) to researchers.
