Résumé :	This paper provides an overview of select premodern materia medica containing equine substances as their principal ingredients. The various horse parts used, for example, blood, dung, and milk, among others, as well as their specific remedies will be discussed. Sources include pharmacological treatises, such as Dioscorides’ De materia medica, Sextus Placidus’ Liber medicinae ex animalibus, the fifteenth-century pharmaceutical bestiary or Tierbuch by Hans Minner; the magically oriented Cyranides; and encyclopedic texts, for example, Pliny’s Historia naturalis and Albert the Great’s De animalibus.
