Description
  • This composite manuscript consists of two parts (ff. 1r-124v; 125r-231r) bound together at an unknown period, both containing medical recipes, charms, various medical treatises and prognostics in a medical context. The first part was produced at the beginning of the 12th century in England. The second part was produced at the end of the 11th century, possibly in England. The format of this manuscript and the texts gathered suggest that it was probably the personal book of a medical practitioner. Contents: ff. 1r-124v: Medical texts, prognostics, recipes and charms divided into 5 books, including Remus Favinus, Carmen de ponderibus et mensuris ; an anonymous treatise, Oxiapate ; Pseudo-Galen, Liber de dinamidiis. ff. 125r-231v: Medical texts; prognostics and charms including extracts from Isidore, Etymologiae ; Pseudo-Galen, De febribus ; recipes and a treatise on uroscopy.
