(Nicolas), was a physician of Alexandria, to whom we are under great obligations for the pains he took to collect, into a kind of pharmacopoeia, all the compound medicines which lie scattered in the works of the Greeks and Arabian writers. His work was accomplished before the beginning of the 14th century; and though written in barbarous Greek, continued for a long time to be the rule of pharmaceutical preparations in Europe. A translation of it into Latin by Leonard Fuch is entitled Opus Medicamentorum, in Sectiones quadragesinta octo diglycum. There are a great many editions of this work: the best is that of Hartman Beverus, Nuremberg, 1658, 8vo.
