The publication “Pharmacia Cracoviensis 1783–2024,” edited by Agnieszka Rzepiela, is a study covering the history of academic pharmacy in Krakow, as well as the history of the Krakow pharmacy profession and the pharmacists’ self-governing body. The book presents the past and present of Krakow’s pharmacy in a broad context, the history of Krakow’s oldest pharmacies and pharmacists, as well as the origins and development of pharmacy education at Jagiellonian University up to the present day.
