Feles-librarii: This is my initial commit of my English translation of this article from German! :D
Pedro Jaime Esteve (latinicized Estevius, Catalan: Pere Jaume Esteve) (* around 1500 in [[Sant Mateu del Maestrat]]; † in 1556 in [[Valencia]]) was a spanish doctor, botanist, and [[humanist]].
== Life and Work ==
Pedro Jaime Esteve studied in [[Valencia]], [[Paris]], and [[Montpellier]]. Later, he worked as a professor of medicine and mathematics at the [[University of Valencia]]. In 1551, he published the Hippocratic work "Epidemics II" in Greek, with numerous illustrations and a Latin translation. This book was the medical foundation of humanism in Spain. In 1552, he published a critical edition of "Theriaca", a work on the poisons and bites of snakes and scorpions, by the ancient Greek doctor [[Nicander of Colophon]]. He made his Latin hexameter version available with Latin and Catalan nomenclature and taxonomy of some plants from the region of Valencia. Later, Esteve wrote a volume on medicinal herbs, which, however, has been lost.
==Notes==
The American plant genus [[Stevia]] (''Stevia'') is named after Pedro Jaime Esteve.
