Supplement to the Pharmacopoeia of India (1869)
The Supplement to the Pharmacopœia of India is a catalogue of the Indian names of medicinal
plants and drugs, compiled by Moodeen Sheriff, a Native Surgeon in the Indian Medical Service, and printed at Madras by order of government in 1869. Its full title describes it as a "catalogue of Indian synonymes of the medicinal plants, products, inorganic and organic substances included in that work, with explanatory and descriptive remarks, &c., in fourteen languages", the work in question being the Pharmacopoeia of India of 1868. Its entry 138 gives the names of Cannabis sativa and of four of its parts in up to fourteen
languages.The book was printed by order of government at the request of the committee of the Pharmacopoeia of India. Sheriff's preface states its purpose plainly: now that the Pharmacopoeia had appeared, European practitioners who wanted to use Indian medicines would have to buy plants and drugs in the bazaar, and could not do so without the local names. It is an official publication as much as a work of scholarship. The vocabulary it preserves is a record of that administrative purpose as well as of the words themselves.
Sheriff writes of "Indian Hemp" and of the plant as Cannabis sativa; this article uses cannabis for the plant and keeps his spellings, accents and italics when quoting his names. read more →
