also known as Vienna Dioscurides; Vienna Dioscorides; Juliana Anicia Codex
TM Gallery info The Vienna Dioscurides (TM 68728) is an early 6th century AD illustrated manuscript of De materia medica, a Greek scientific work, and also includes several other medico-biological compositions, both in poetry and in prose. Lavishly illustrated, the manuscript of 492 folios was created in Constantinople for a Byzantine princess and is therefore also called the Juliana Anicia Codex. The codex is now kept in Vienna because a Flemish diplomat in the service of the Austrian Habsburg emperor bought it from the physician of the Sultan, not too long after the fall of Byzantium.
