| Abstract: | We do not know when the academic study of pharmacy had its beginnings in Malta but it is very probable that it began at the Holy infirmary at Valletta in 1676 when the School for Anatomy and Surgery was founded in that hospital by Grand Master Nicola Cotoner. It is certain that the Director of the School - the priest and physician Fra Giuseppe Zammit - was also the teacher of botany and that, in order to further the practical study of this discipline, he founded a botanical garden, out of his own purse, in a ditch of Fort St. Elmo in 1690. In this garden he cultivated medicinal plants. |
