AB  - This ethnobotanical and pharmacological study presents the results of an
   analysis of manuscripts from the Chilandar Medical Codex (CMC) on the
   usage and origin of medical substances in Serbian medieval medicine
   compared to contemporary studies on medical ethnobotany conducted in the
   Western Balkans. Based on CMC pharmacological manuscripts, with chapters
   on simple and compound medicines (oils, ointments, pills, poultices,
   syrups, and electuaries), analysis focused on the types of drugs, the
   substances used most frequently in their preparation, their origin, and
   medical use. The results obtained show that most ingredients used were
   of plant origin, while the contribution of minerals and substances of
   animal origin was considerably smaller. Most medicines were named
   according to the main ingredient's botanical name; thus, the chapter on
   simple medicine contains 119 medicines whereas the chapter on compound
   medicines has 15 medicines named after a certain plant species, pointing
   to a high level of knowledge of their botanical and pharmacological
   properties. Out of 125 plant resources, 90 are native species and 52
   (60.5 \%) are still used today in traditional medicine in the Western
   Balkans, including Serbia. Therefore, the ethnobotanical data recorded
   provides an interesting basis for further phytotherapeutical research,
   for fostering sustainable uses of plant resources and also for promoting
   local biocultural diversity. It is also important for studies on plant
   genetic resources since most of the medicinal plants available on the
   European and world markets today come from south-eastern Europe, meaning
   conservation of this genetic heritage is crucial for the future of the
   herbal market.
