Nicholas Culpeper (1616–1654) was an English botanist, herbalist, physician, and astrologer. His early education was in Latin and Greek, which allowed him access to many of the classical texts, particularly those of the medical literature of the time. Culpeper is perhaps best known for translating medical texts into English, the most famous being his translation of the 'Pharmacopoeia Londinensis' of the Royal College of Physicians into 'The English Physitian' (1652), more commonly known as 'Culpeper's Complete Herbal'. His approach to medicine was highly influenced by astrological beliefs, an element that he integrated into his herbal and health guidance, advocating that knowledge of astrology was essential to diagnose diseases and determine treatments. He worked primarily in London, where he treated patients often for free, especially the poor. Culpeper was a staunch critic of the more traditional and conservative medical establishment of his time, which often clashed with his more democratized approach to medical knowledge and care. His works continued to be published posthumously and remained popular among the general public for several generations.
