This booklet contains a collection of recipes for producing
medications, home remedies and foodstuffs. The presentation of the
recipes ranges from lists of ingredients to detailed texts that
describe the processing of the ingredients. The manuscript does not
have an index. A page from a manuscript - probably 14th century -
serves as book cover. Its visible text is about the geometry of
triangles (De triangulo). In the first half of the 20th century,
the book was purchased at the bookstore Helbing & Lichtenhahn by
Theo Baeschlin and then donated to the Pharmaceutical Institute of
Basel.
