    Summary:
    A Latin poem in Leonine hexameters giving prescriptions for health for each month of the year.

    Notes:
    Written probably in Germany in a minuscule semi-gothic hand with many abbreviations, in black ink with red rubrics. Initials and rubrics are in red. For each month there is a roundel containing a zodiacal sign, drawn in pen and ink and other colors, mostly red and blue.
    January begins "Escas per janum calidas est sumere sanum". Cf. Walther, Alphabetisches Verzeichnis der Versanfänge mittellateinischer Dichtungen, no. 5538. It is related to Walther no. 8953 which is published in S. Rienzi, Collectio Salernitana (Naples 1859), i. 4-6.
    Bound in modern blue morocco by Sangorski and Sutcliffe.
