Cracow’s collection was compared with two selected academic pharmacognostic collections created in a similar time frame in countries with similar geopolitical conditions\; namely collection of medicines from the Department of Pharmacognosy of the University of Vienna \(Drogensammlung des Departments für Pharmakognosie\) and the pharmacognostic collection of the University of Marburg \(Pharmakognostische Sammlung der Philipps\-Universität Marburg\). Based on available archival sources and contemporary scientific studies, the collections mentioned above in three pharmacy teaching centers have been characterised in terms of resources and functions. Additionally, an in situ analysis of the current state of preservation of these collections was carried out and their contemporary significance was defined. The first chapter of this work presents the thematic scope, together with the definition of the Pharmacognostic Cabinet. The second chapter defines the objectives of this work. The subsequent chapters \(3\-4\) discuss the current state of knowledge about the Pharmacognostic Cabinet in Cracow, the time and territorial framework, as well as methodology and the characteristic of sources.
