ديسقوريدوس
Monardes published several books of varying importance. In "Diálogo llamado pharmacodilosis" (1536), he examines humanism and suggests studying several classical authors, principally Pedanius Dioscorides. He discusses the importance of Greek and Arab medicine in "De Secanda Vena in pleuriti Inter Grecos et Arabes Concordia" (1539). "De Rosa et partibus eius" (1540) is about roses and citrus fruits. It is known that Monardes also believed that tobacco smoke was an infallible panacea.
